    Hi Tom and Welcome. You might be better off asking in the Metalwork Forum for this. When asking for bits and pieces or information, it would be best to add a pic or two, so that you could be given a decent answer?? Some people, if reading your request, don't see a pic to work from, ignore the posting/thread.
    What is the X and Y table off of, or is it the type used on a drill press??
    If it's the type used for a drill press? I'd look at something more robust, as they're designed to go under a DP for accurate location of holes being drilled.
    There is a lot of force being used, which is why drill presses don't make good milling machines, as the quill bearing isn't designed for sideways thrust. They might be OK for a few jobs, then start to give trouble!!!!
    You'd need to spend around $1000 upwards for a mill, at that starting price it would be OK for a learner, it would be pretty well clapped out, I know because I've been looking for one also.
