Bench drill with cross feed, morse attaching?

[C-Bag]

Edit, so it seem wise not to mill with it. But sometimes there is urgent need to make some tool/part.

Good job. Been there, experienced that. Ended up with an old cheap warhorse RF30 mill drill. Paid $400 with heavy duty table and while there are similar for many times that much(probably in way better shape) I believe it's possible for others with patience to find. Yeah, it's NOT the greatest but it's proven to be useful and has stood the test of time as there are still parts available through Grizzly.

I also want to commend the others in their measured responses. We DONT want to discourage folks, and on other sites you could have gotten quite the lambasting. This topic of trying to make a drill press into a mill comes up regularly and there are some instances where they have turned the drill press into a mill, but good grief, the amount of work expended and $$ put into it would seem to not be cost effective. But hey, we all have our obsessions and who am I to judge?

But when there is safety involved there is a line that has been crossed and some of us feel the need to speak up. It would seem TexBuxer came to the same conclusion on his own, so I'm not trying to belabor the point to him. My hope is that digital tide of lurkers get it too. Kids don't waste your time trying to do this at home
