Hey jaydee. Thanks for the tips. I'll have to drop in to those places and see what I can find. I think I'll go with Can O' Beans idea and get an x,y vise from JCWhitney because as stated above the drill press won't hold up to side to side motion so I'll just use it in z motion to take bits of material at a time and move the material with the vise. If I prove to be decent at home milling I may pick up a non CNC mill this spring. What do you guys think about this one.
