- A cheap build that anyone can do. Under $200 mill from a bench drill/drill press. this worked surprisingly well !
please like and comment it really helps thank you :)
for more great ideas subscribe to my channel :)
I hope you enjoy watching this as much as i enjoyed making it for you.
If you like my content please subscribe so i can do bigger and crazier projects!
I upload every month-ish with much fail !

100% realistic squid game challenge. Fail and you get shot with tungsten. All in all valiant effort. Now cut a cookie plz.
The phrase 'bull in a china shop' springs to mind. If you have a lot sturdier bench press and heavier mill table it is possible to mill but in very fine steps. This attempt was just crass.
When I learned how to use a verticle mill ( Bridgeport), I recall doing multiple passes that are much shallower.
We didn't have tungsten bits (carbide and/or tool steel) on various types/hardnesses of carbon steel.
CNC readouts were just coming to market and controlls followed.
Speed of rotation is also important depending on material and cutting fluids will help with tool wear, etc.
And, finally, to comments regarding latteral vs. vertical motion, YES. Everything on the DP from the chuck up thru the spindle is build for vertical motion, not latteral.
There's a big difference in between the DP chuck and a collet in a mill.
The Drill press is designed for downward load not side load. Chuck is only held on by a morse taper. Side load helps to release its grip on the chuck. This could lead to flying metal not good for the home team. Also asking trouble with runout of the drill.
Just get a mill
I basically said the same thing and gave a link that describes as to why...

I mill with a drill chuck. Can you sponsor me a proper mill?
5:19 love this! Which US started to use metric
Yes why doesn't the US go metric? It canes the imperial system. Working in base 10 as opposed to fractions that says it all. In the UK there is a ridiculous dual system which doesn't help anybody. In the
70s the plan was to totally go metric but 40 years down the line it seems to have got worse. The UK just copies the US anyway.
In the US, we are waiting for metric time above one minute. All or nothing kind of nation.
I don't understand, because I thought you seized the quill in the top position to give it max strength for milling. At 5.24 I can see the quill move up and down?
I saw the umbrella in squid game 😄
Awsome vid sometimes we only have to work with what we have to work .
Hi
Take the scarf off, man.
It presents more of a safety hazard than the relatively slow moving tungsten bits you may encounter.
Hey guys please like and comment it really helps me out 😁
A Jacobs chuck is not a mill arbor.
Basics 2 - Can you use an endmill in a drill chuck?

At least it can be used for milling aluminum castings and stuff. And there was some great music. Totally cool. Thanks.
If you're going to continue with machining go get a mini table mill. Or a cnc tabletop that does really tiny objects. I know its a hassle but it helps you learn. Doing stuff like this is fun but it WILL get you maimed and loss of fingers or eyes. This trade is one of those where it's low key extra dangerous like electrical and people die all the time doing it. Its no offense to you. You wanna learn and do cool stuff.
you never want to put a side-load on an end-mill in a drill chuck, that's why collets exist. For just plunging and milling counter bore, you can becasue upward pressure on the endmill in the drill chuck which is what a drill chuck is designed for. A drill chuck is not designed for milling.
Yes to this. I came to this video looking for a way to avoid that very problem. If you think it won't happen you are in for a surprise.
This is stupid and dangerous. There's too much vibration and no drawbar to hold the chuck from dropping out of the quill. You're going to get hurt.
So what you are saying is I should change the chuck ? Or should I thread a screw through the top where the chuck is inserted ?
No, a draw bar only solves the problem of the chuck falling out. You still have a rigidity problem. The reason your workpiece looks like it was chewed by beavers is because the entire drill press is shaking like a dog shitting razor blades. That vibration leads to broken end mills with flutes being thrown about at high speed. There's no reasonable solution to that problem. Every part of the system is built too weak for the cutting forces involved. Real mills have mass and rigidity. On a drill press the table is a light casting held to the column with a clamp. The column itself is a thin walled tube with insufficient torsional rigidity. The head's connection to the column is another weak clamp. The head itself has no real structure to prevent vibration or movement. Cheap consumer drill presses are designed to drill holes with relatively small bits. They are not designed to deal with the cutting forces of milling.
You're not the first to think of this and you won't be the last. I had the same idea 30+ years ago as a wet behind the ears engineer but fortunately heeded the advice of a machinist and waited until I could afford a real mill.
@@scott9751 i might do a full tear down and fabricate a new frame for a video. It would be interesting to know what you have to do to make it work. I think a blast shield will be my next investment 😂
@@THEADVENTURESOFBIGH I hate to be discouraging, but you're wasting time and money. Many people before you have tried and failed. A cheap drill press has all the rigidity of a spaghetti statue. Put your time and effort into a side gig to raise money for a proper mill. A used Bridgeport can be had for $1500 or so. A used Chinese junk mill even cheaper and it will still be better than a cobbled together drill press.
@@scott9751 spaghetti statue 😂😂 your not discouraging me it’s actually making me determine to learn more and make it work lol I think my next video will give me a lot more information on what I need to do.
Stop trying cut it all out at once. Try milling out the depth in 0.5 mm increments.
@@guyspeake7296 the point was to show how aggressive it can cut.
Done it. Terrrrible idea. So many structure issues. You did get the spindle issue half right.
I’m not trying to criticize you. Just the path forward.
worst. idea. ever.
So what your saying is, you think the holocaust was a good idea compared to this.
IMHO: INSTALL MORE LED LIGHTS, IN YOUR WORKSPACE.
