steamschooner Posted December 31, 2018 #1 Posted December 31, 2018 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.

michael mott Posted January 7, 2019 #3 Posted January 7, 2019 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.
