I use to be a machinist in a track shop (railroad track) where I operated many machines. A large Cincinnati milling machine was just one I operated. I often thought about purchasing a milling machine. I had a friend who had a Bridgeport mill for sale once, but I didn't buy it. Then I thought about the mini mills that are for sale today, but once again I didn't buy one.
Your idea about using a cross slide vise on a drill press is a very economical way to do some light milling which is probably enough for most people in their home workshop. Who knows, I might have to go out and buy a nice drill press and a cross slide vise even in my advanced years.
For most of my life I have been making something, at the track shop I cut steel harden steel castings, even stainless. At home I had a wood working shop, and I've done auto body work for years. I say all this to give a warning. The heavy metal dust, sawdust, and even auto body filler dust have ruin my lungs, I now have pulmonary fibrosis. So the warning is ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK. It will save your life.
Thanks for the video, I'm sure it will help many to get into some light milling.
Best of luck
I just bought a vintage cross slide vise at a yard sale for $20. I'm going to need to clean it but it was an awesome deal. I currently have a bench top drill press but I'm ordering a full-sized 20" drill press later this month. I'm looking at a Jet 1.5 HP model. These tips were quite helpful. I like the replacement chuck.
Thanks for rocking the old school Robert Miles. Brings me back to a warehouse party somwhere in 1998...
Almost two years since you posted this - and this still a stand out fantastic video!
I am shocked that there have not been a ton of content inspired by this!
Fantastic channel - thanks for the great content.
Yup, I would agree with that
Cut off carbide saw tooth bits are one of my cheap tricks. Mounted in the cross slide the results are surprisingly good. Plus you get 40 to 60 bits per used 10" saw blade
Those are some great tips! I especially like the straw and cup for cleaning debris from the cross slide screw. The keyless chuck is a really good idea and I need to get one too. Thanks for sharing these ideas.
Thanks! The cup/straw vacuum attachment was particularly sweet.
I enjoyed the video and found it very informative,and for light work,this will work just fine,thanks.
This press has worked like a charm for my projects ruclips.net/user/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!
Good stuff Eric. I need to get myself a good keyless chuck and a milling vice. You sir, are a genius!
Ok, a lot of content out there: One decent tip, dragged out into a 24 minute vid. This content: at least 8 hell-yeah , usable tips in 6 minutes. Left me wanting more.
Very well thought out Sir.👏👏👌🇨🇦
As a 40 year journeyman tool & die maker I too have used this method at home. People need to be aware that a drill press chuck is only press fit into the spindle, and therefore, the side pressure of milling can and will eventually make your chuck fall out, or be corkscrewed into your workpiece. Be safe.
i was going to say the exact same thing, he should have mentioned that first as someone will get hurt, a milling machine has a draw bar for a reason.
I learned that the hard way. A bit of loctite works well.
I always appreciate an innovative mind!
Every single tip here is actually useful! Great vid!
Love your channel. So much to learn and is a source of inspiration.
Nice job Eric, I DO have a CNC mill and a lathe and I would say the video was still for me. Keep the videos coming, you do a great job
Your channel is both cool and inspirational for a scratch builder to be like me! Thanks a lot!
Very important knowledges about machines,thank you sir for this video.
I came here for the "a drill is not a milling machine, it was not designed to take radial loads" comments.
The old timers around here have been using their drill press as milling machines for over 40 years...
I’m a machinist and a good machinist will make do with what they have. Used many drill presses with a add on cross slide vise. One axis is enough to get by.
😂
Bumblebees aren't aerodynamic, and theoretically aren't supposed to fly, but...
;^)
If you’re going to use a drill press the last thing you want to use is a Harbor Freight press or any press with a Morse taper! Get an old Craftsman ore equivalent with a fixed Chuck that can’t drop out from side pressure or radial loads!
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!! This is so cool! I have one of these drill presses & just inherited another HF one, like the one you have, & decided to have one for woodworking & the other for metal work. Never really thought about nor had a thought about milling, as mills are big & expensive, until I watched your video. THANKS! I also just subscribed as you come up with ideas for the common person. Great video!
Thanks for your comment and support. Very much appreciated. Feel free to post on your favorite social media and share with the world. Thanks again 😊👍
Thank you I found this video extremely helpful. I picked up a nice used Craftsman 1 hp drill press and will implement some of your tips
Good job, love how clean you work
Thank you for a very helpful video. To keep a chuck key in one place use and old hard drive magnet mounted either on or close to the machine.
Excellent - it gives me hope for a next project !
Great video. Now I have a bunch of ideas that need actualizing!
Really useful tips
Great ideas! 👍👍
Question! Now that it's been about 5 years since this video came out, how are the bearings on the drill press doing? Have you had any decrease in performance or had to replace anything, or is it all still working fine?
Your intro got me hooked. Well made and easy to understand vid. Thank you.
Mean Green awesome, glad you liked it. Don't forget to check out my Kickstarter campaign for the "Alfred" Backpack hanger kck.st/2Yi2Qnd thanks for your comment and support much appreciated.

Why have I been fighting with three drill press handles for so long??! I wish I could give this video 10 thumbs up! That dust collection bit was life-changing.
Cool
Best on youtube for about 5 year now and this is the first I have given a thumbs up to, good advice and for the simple man, me knuckle dragger 🙈

Great video Thanks for taking the time to make it!!
I'm a machinist. Great tips for the hobbyist. Although I cringe seeing you use a drill chuck with endmills. LOL But, for the light work being done, it works.
Absolutely fantastic for plastic and wood

So happy to have finally found your channel! Where have you been hiding, anyway?
No joke: I’ve wanted to be you “when I grow up” for a good 25 years or so by now. 🤓 I’m a hobbyist maker, but I strive to find methods as clean, precise, and complete as yours... I can only dream of what it must be like to be as capable and skilled as you clearly are...
You’ve got a new subscriber, moreover, a humongous new fan.
Cool, feel free to share with the world on social media. Glad to have you as a subsriber
Nice set up
Great ideas thanks man

MAYBE ! ALL !! DRILL !! PRESSES !! SHOULD ! BE !! MADE !! OUT !! OF !! TRASH !! CANS !!! AS !! WELL !!
Love this video 😎
So helpful, thank you
Great content!
Thanks for the trips.
You're welcome, be safe
Eric, my tip is to get some button magnets and place them onto the speed change cover, then I place my selection of centre drills, chuck key, countersink drills etc.
They are always at hand and are kept out of the way when finished with. :-))
Using a magnet to hold your bits makes them magnetic as well, even when taken away from the strip or tray. Which means that ferrous metal chips cling to them. Sometimes tenaciously. The bits can have a beard of filings that shift but wont easily wipe off. This interferes with cutting, wears out the tool and produces poor quality holes, scoring or embeds metal especially in soft material. You can degauss them, but that's just another step.
Great video, Brother!
As a retired Tool Room machinist this scares the literal crap out of me. In more ways than I can describe
Clean set up
I dig these kind of videos.
Great, thanks
Useful. Glad you kept the background "music" low. As a musician I hate how so many instructional videos have audio crap in the background.
Thanks, getting better at it.
Good video. Helpful tips. FWIW, I have 4 working drill preses; every one has just one arm for a handle. Really makes things easier.
I agree, thanks for the comment
