Hey guys a safety note to think about!
It’s a bad idea to put an end mill or a Router Bit in a chuck.
A chuck has three jaws that hold the bit witch is fine for downward pressure like a drillpress,but when you put side pressure like a mill does it may break the end mill bit. Milling machines have collets that clamp the whole body of the cutter for this reason. End mills and router bits are hardened tool steel and will shatter when broken very dangerous.
