I have a couple of small peices of CRS that need some 3/8" w x 3/8" deep
slots cut in them. Is it possible to do this at home with a 8" benchtop
drillpress and a cross slide table bolted to it? Accuracy is not overly
important, finish can be marginal but the nicer the better. Suggestions as
to what to use for a cutter that would fit in the drill chuck.

Not A Good Plan. Drill presses are not designed to retain the chuck when
it's subjected to side forces - the finish tends to stink when the chuck
comes loose. If you cannot (or it's fiscally silly to) get a mill, or
get time on a mill, drill a series of holes and grind/file the rest of
the slots.
