Default Using a drill press for milling.

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.

TIA

Dan
