I milled quite a few Cu blocks on a $99 Craftman drill press befroe I got a mill and converted it and had no problems with using end mills from 1/8th"-1/2" to mill them with.
I say go for it.
But if youre like me youll end up getting hooked and buying a mill anyway..........so save yourself some time and just by a used mill or a new mini mill for around $399(about 600-650 with rotary table and a few end mills to get you started)
Youll love having a mill.
Nothing beats doing it right!!
