Pro/Forums - View Single Post - what I need to use my press drill as a milling machine?

Let´s keep this wishful thinking alive a little bit more.
Overlapping holes and drill bits wandering into previously drilled holes, can this be reduced with pilot holes? Smaller, not overlapping holes, for the drill bit to follow?
Is this nearly as interesting as the question "how expensive drill press is one ready to f*ck up before realizing that a mill is a mill and a drill press is not"?
I´ve given this drill-mill a bit of though too.
