Your pretty close to Spokane, have you ever dropped by Harbor Frieght on Sprague? They have some cheap mills and milling stuff. Sometimes they have the X/Y tables to. Although as mentioned it is probably not a good idea to do that with a drill press. If you do though use aluminum instead of Copper as Copper will destroy that press. I get all my milling bits at Spokane Industrial Supply. The price is a little high but $4.95 for double sides HS end mills isn't to bad. Good Luck.
