Kevin Brilliant idea I am a millwright by trade and was thinking of a way to adapt my older craftsmen drill press to do some light milling. I just ordered the hand wheel and the rest of the parts to do mine as well Great stuff .
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'm surprised no one has commented about you climb milling in the video. Very dangerous especially in a shakey drill press. You can buy little bench top mill/drills that work quite well when set up correctly.

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.
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
It is dangerous to mill with a drill press because the jaw cone is not fixed and it can escape, moreover the bearings are not designed to work horizontally and lastly it will never do a good job because a drill press is not rigid enough
I made this to accomplish a specific lightweight milling project, I needed to mill a small area of an aluminum valve body for a fuel pump, which I show in another video. Using the dial indicator made the milling an easy task and I was able to mill the aluminum very accurately. The milling was done with a large cross slide vise and a heavy milling plate which acts a a safety device keeping the chuck from dropping down no more than an inch, the chuck would need to drop more than three inches to be thrown free of the drill press.

Danny, thank you! Kevin
Very well done! Ingenuity!
Appreciate your comments, thanks for watching, Kevin
Thank you for sharing. Very nice.👍
Fantástico.A melhor ideia que eu vi até hoje.
Excellent work. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for sharing on your forum.
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.

Smart engineering👏👏
Thanks for your comments, this project turned out to work really well for my needs, Kevin
A really good idea! Above all, it can be dismantled.
I appreciate the feedback, works great when you occasionally need that ability. Thanks for watching, Kevin
Ton travail merveilleux il lui manque les plans de mesure pour que tes abonnée réalisant ton idée chez soit

Appreciate your sharing this, safety is important!
Very nice upload mo new ideas how work can we do with drill press
Appreciate the feedback, Thanks for watching!
Verry nice.
I appreciate that, thanks for watching, Kevin
I like your very clever setup Only problem; drill presses make very poor milling machines.

Simples, e eficiente!
Good…
Grazie, Kevin.
Amen
Don, appreciate the comment and thanks for watching, Kevin
