Milling Machine as a Drill Press?
I'm looking at the machinery I will have in my next workshop following an overseas move.
I absolutely have to be able to perform the operations of a drill press. That's not debatable. I've put it off far too long... But I've come to realize that I could probably get a second hand milling machine for the same price, maybe cheaper, than a drill press. This would open up the option for making my own inlaid brass tools down the line.
So the question is simple. If I buy a milling machine with the intention of using it as a drill press, what are the cons? What would be the first (second, third, fourth) "da--it" moment I would have if I went this route?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers,
Luke
