This looks like an interesting and functional way to make a stopped dado. Has anyone tried it?

I highly suspect that he is using a milling machine and not a drill
press. A milling machine is designed for a side load, the typical DP is
not. It would work for a while but the bearings would likely wear out
sooner than later.

Yes, he is using a vertical milling machine, most likely some kind of
Bridgeport. You can see the standard mill table, which he is cranking
back and forth.

You are of course correct and I am not very observant. Certainly a
good way to do it if you have a real milling machine, but a bit
overkill if you're buying one for the purpose.



The biggest difference between a mill and a router is precision and rpm.
If a mill gets the job done faster and does a good job maybe you
should own one. LOL. That being said there is this thing called a
"bridge mill" that is made in droves for wood working with a wood router
as a spindle. Most people popularly call it a CNC router.
