This looks like an interesting and functional way to make a stopped

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


I have a Rockwell/Delta 11-280 drill press. The manual discusses its
use as a router and a shaper. In fact the manual displays a shaper
cutter kit. I haven't used it as either a router or a shaper. But I have
used it as a drum sander.
