My drill to mill adapter


Recommended Posts

Made this spreader adapter for my little drill press so I could use it as a mill. Light wood milling is all I will use it for but now I can adjust the depth of  cuts.

Happy New Year everyoneP1013772.thumb.JPG.6d8f95d8204733eed54bb9b8d280b864.JPGP1013773.thumb.JPG.67a4784fe2e88e3e72f474946013af04.JPGP1013770.thumb.JPG.3580d5198b03a354bef7be393d3961e6.JPGP1013768.thumb.JPG.f9e8f5df07d0635e1827126f426e0d15.JPG

Hello steamschooner An interesting adaption One thing that is important to remember is that a drill chuck that is attached with a morse taper is not a safe option for using sideways pressure on a bit. If the chuck is screwed on it is not so much an issue with small cutters and soft materials, or if there is a capture screw that is inside the chuck securing it to the mandrel if it is a morse taper type.

 

I have seen a chuck come off used this way.

Be safe.
