will this drill press do milling work

I don't think so. If you put an end mill in it, I suppose it would make a square-bottomed hole; but it has neither the bearings nor the torque to do any kind of side cutting.

I understand that there is a way to "mill" or mill by sanding. I have not tried it but I believe it will work. You would actually be sanding rather than milling. Julio

Milling work...This has a rubber belt and 3 speeds...It is some what under powered...I use it for drilling only and can power it out if I try and drill to fast..Max drill bit size is 9/32.

I wouldn't think so, table doesn't move. Great little drill press though. I use it for small jewelry work all the way to drilling leather knife sheaths I make that are up to 1/2 Inch thick, easier to drill than punch. Worth it's cost would replace with same if I ever need to.

It is a very well built drill press for the money. I use both of mine everyday for drilling. As for milling it has no way to lock it in place or any other settings to show how much your milling.

It will not. Not enough RPMs for the torque needed to mill. This drill I use to roll crimp shotgun shells, and that's pretty much it due to the lack of power. If I press hard enough into the bit while spinning, I can stop it with my hand.

My experience with the drill press has been drilling light gauge brass. It struggles with that. It is suited for very light hobby work only in my opinion.

Not on this particular model. I would suggest, however, if you need a drill with a side handle fordaily use, a Millwaukee hammer drill would be a wiser choice-and cheaper in the long run!

Yes it will. Make sure that you set the tool to hammer only as oppose to rotations of any kind

yes, but you have to get the right bit. i recomend to you to make the board with photofabrication or etching process and the drilling through circuit boards and protoboards with your cnc carving. for plastic parts no problem at all!.this milling equipment is with very good precision accuracy. it's great!

I have one on my shop press and it works fine. It is not a bad chuck. I dont have run out measurments.

Hi Steve, No, there is not enough torque/power in this drill press and the speed too fast. This drill press is only for small size drill bits and high speed. Good luck. Bert

It is strong and will now bow for most tool applications. It is tough stuff, so milling is challenging. Templates are helpful.

Yes...if you are careful to keep the material flat on a backer board. And remember this cutter is to be used only on a drill press. I have used these cutters to cut instrument holes in .090 aluminium.

the castings are not fine grain and the milling is rough. the General Drill presses made in Canada have excellent fine grain cast bases and tables. But...they cost three time more than the Jet, are not three times the accuracy.WD40 will and an old kitchen towel will clean up the shipping grease

I can'r answer with complete certainty since I don't own a lathe, but I would think that they might or I would be willing to try since a lathe is not much different than a drill press except that its horizontal rather than vertical and you can probably control the speed and feed just as well or better than a drill press. It is an interesting idea in any case, then it would be much easier to make s group of round holes for the mortising part of the joint than a continuous square or rectangular hole as in a true mortise that requires a special tool.

I don't know, I will have to check the specifications. It it is on the tool I will respond again later. For drilling high RPM is ok, but I think you might want to drive screws a little slower, I will provide more later. Brad

I do not know what kind of drill press you have if it is like the small proxxon drill press you can just drill and tap it to the base. just remember to use a square when you do it, if you do really close work use an indicator to square it up, I am happy with my cross slide, I make little trains with mine.

I don't know specifically about your drill press. I have a self standing drill press that was made back in the stone age, but the attachments that came with the mortising attachment made it easy to configure to my machine.

The drill press has a laser X, but I use it only as a general guide when needed. Still the best was to ensure accurate hole placement it to mark your project and lower your bit to make sure it's on the mark before drilling a hole.

I think that a 1/4" bit will fit into the chuck, but the motor doesn't have the torque to push it through anything harder than wax. This machine is a sweet running little drill press, but it is seriously lacking torque. It is only for drilling very small holes in light or thin material. It took me several minutes to drill a 1/8" hole in 1/4" aluminum. Good machine for what it's made for.

Yes it will. Its a great drill...I bought the impact atachment for it and that works great too.

It all depends if your drill press has a JT3 taper or a Morse 2 Taper. Most 1/2" drill presses have a Morse 2 taper so you will need a arbor that will fit the Morse 2 taper in your press to the JT3 taper in the chuck. Great chuck!The Arbor is a Woodstock 2744 Hope this helps you.
