I'd clamp it in the chuck of my lathe, with a drill chuck and bit in
the tailstock.
Done it before.

Which means not a lot of wobble.
I would have no problem producing the piece here. General International
25-200M1 lathe, Talon chuck.

Oh, if that's all you want, just fasten a wood block to your drillpress
table, drill/bore a 1" hole in it, then fit the dowel into the
hole and run any kind of drill you want, right down the axis.
This requires that you keep the drill press fittings clamped, of course.

Scott provides a few methods and shows that using the right tool will give you several options. Lets discuss how we would do this starting with a square block. Or Google lathe and do some reading. ;^)

That is what a chuck _does_.

Anything mounted in the face chuck correctly at the head stock will be centered from the perspective
of the tail stock.
It will be more accurate if one mounts between centers, turn to make uniform,
then use a lamp boring bit to bore through a hollow tail center. This also allows custom O.D.

You could drill a small hole in the center and chuck a headless screw
in the drill to screw into the hole. It may well wobble while
spinning. A lathe would be nice, but sometimes you do what you have
to do with what you have.

mount it between centers, use a hollow tail center and drill baby drill.
chuck it in a face chuck, mount drill chuck in tail.

That is a very short barrel to drill. Lathes bore barrels.

Yeah, that's the idea; the chuck of most power drills
is mounted on a (for instance) 3/8"-24tpi threaded
shaft. You can build a fitting that goes onto that
shaft, that engages the 1" dowel.
It takes a lathe, and some patience, though.
Some cheap holesaws use a driven disc with concentric
circle grooves, you could fairly easily mount some kind
of suitable chuck on such a disk; do you have
a small-ish lathe step-jaw chuck handy?

Very... :) since the OD of the holesaw (I presume you mean) is 1" and
the ID is that minus thickness of the wall--probably 3/64" or slightly
thinner.

For what purpose? Spinning it, I presume, but against what loading?
Center drill for a smaller dowel?
Hot glue a dowel?

Is that used for drilling a well-centered hole in a spinning piece of

Yes, I want to put a 1 inch diameter dowel in the chuck of a drill,
and drill a well-centered hole into it.
After that, I'm going to use that hole to turn it in a drill, to
shave a little bit off of the outer diameter.

Glue a 1/2" dowel to the end of the 1" dowel, chuck the 1/2" dowel.
Drill 1/2" hole into end and insert/glue 1/2" dowel into hole, chuck
1/2" dowel.
Drill and insert a hanger bolt, with the machine threads out, chuck the
machine threads.

BTW, since you must know so much about lathes...
How exactly would you attach a 1" OD x 2" long dowel to a lathe,
so that you can cut a well-centered 1/4" diameter x 1" long hole
into the other end?

By using the centered hole for a shank.
If it works... Both the hole and the shaved outer diameter will be
used in my project.

I would chuck the dowel into my 3 jaw chuck, make sure it was straight by
eyeballing it against the tool rest, putting a jacobs chuck on the tailstock,
and then putting the drill bit in the jacobs chuck.
If metal-working accuracy was needed (rather than what's typically
required for woodworking) a 4 jaw chuck could be used and the dowel
accurately centered with use of a dial indicator.

Can you glue it into a 1" socket for a ratchet wrench and use it with
1/4 to 3/8 adapter that would be chucked into the drill.
