[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 615600, member: 39764"] If the packer actually took the time to pack the small stuf properly, it should have arrived unscathed...... I take it you plan on using the cross slide vise so you can do milling with a drill press.....? There is an issue with that and that is a drill press is designed to only put pressure on a drill in a vertical axis and not absorb radial stress (when you mill with a milling cutter, the stress is mostly in a horizontal plane,) Y and Z axis. Consequently, you'll destroy the spidle bearings in the quill in short order, even faster with a cheaper drill press becausr the spindle bearings aren't that good in the first place.....and runout (the resistance of the spindle against deflection) (slop) is inherent in all drill presses because again, they are designed to push direcrly down..... I can be done but it's really not a good idea.... and you won't get an acceptable finish and may break the cutters because they will chatter even in soft materials like aluminum. A milling machine has bearings that handle vertical and horizontal stress, more than one set actually, even the cheap benchtop ones from China. I have a cross slide (table) with a small vise that I use to position parts for precision drilling. That's it. [/QUOTE]
