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.Â* 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.

While a lot of Rockell equipment was pretty good, this unit is at the
lower end of the food chain. I had the same unit, got it as a sales
reward in 1979.

Yes you can do many things as you have pointed out. But should you.
Have you seen the Dremel plunger attachment to turn it into a plunge
router? Think that is a good idea?
