Can you use an endmill in a drill chuck? - Basics 2

>As you have stated, axially it it fine especially if a hole is roughed out first with a drill bit. I use as you do in the pedestal drill and in the tailstock chuck regularly. Nice short and too the point video.

Thanks! It is funny as I read your reply two things dawned on me. First I did not mention, as you point out, the importance of drilling a hole first as many end mills do not cut in the center. And second, I thought of another use, putting a small flat on round stock to drill for a set screw for instance. Thanks for the reply!
