Attempting to get the center on the mill should have been easy but it never quite worked.  Once I had marked with a center drill, I used a center finder in the mill to get 0,0, then used a 1/2" carbide endmill to get a perfectly centered hole!

Misaligned Tailstock and Headstock
I have been having trouble getting a hole centered in the lathe.  The headstock and tailstock are misaligned which explains everything.   A bit of searching suggested cleaning the headstock mating assemblies (in this case the headstock and the spacer).  Problem solved!
