Improvised Milling Machine

[drew02a]

so, for ~$100 for a compound milling vise and end mill bits, I can now use my drill press as a milling machine. Have plans to build some more glock parts with it. It's definitely not ideal for harder metals because of the bearing setup on the press. But for brass and aluminum it should be fine.
