>By the way, one safety note. This does not turn your drill press into a milling machine. A mill is designed to handle the sideways stresses and you see this in the bearings, the way the mill is held, etc. If you try to do milling with a drill press you risk at least ruining the bearings if not having the chuck fail and dangerous metal parts flying everywhere. In short, it look like a mill but do not use it like a mill. If you need a mill, buy a mill.
Yep... it has the appropriate warnings.
The big issue is that drill presses aren't rigid... not even a tiny bit.
There's a reason even the cheapest mill weighs so much... rigidity.
