Drill Press Homemade Upgrade-Precision Spindle/Milling Head control.

I turned my vintage drill press into milling machine by making a precision spindle height attachment.

Nice setup Mr. Kevin! I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. I like how you did this. I have 4 lathes but not a mill. I guess I should stop buying lathes and find me a milling machine... Thanks for sharing, I subbed!

I really enjoy these types of projects, Kevin

@@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop Yeah, building the tools is often more satisfying than using them.

[@MegaMr200]

A really good idea! Above all, it can be dismantled.

[@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop]

I appreciate the feedback, works great when you occasionally need that ability. Thanks for watching, Kevin

I like your very clever setup Only problem; drill presses make very poor milling machines.

[@kevins_fix-it_or_make-It_shop]

Thanks for watching and commenting! This setup ended up working surprisingly well. I wanted to mill an aluminum valve body for a fuel pump and it turned out to work well and allowed me to precisely mill my project. I know it has limited ability but it did what I needed. Thanks, Kevin

[@donschweitzer3045]

Amen

Don, appreciate the comment and thanks for watching, Kevin

Any milling at all on a drill press is dangerous without a drawbar to secure the taper on the chuck & i would not have any milling cutters in a drill chuck it will come loose even light milling, get your self a mill & be safe.

Appreciate your sharing this, safety is important!
