Another small tool I haven't posted or maybe I have but anyway
I have a drill press I call my 6 gun or 6 drill
it has 6 3 Hp drill heads with 10 to 14" vertical travel depending on which head you use all have #4 MT it weighs at least 6000 lbs
Frank S:
Time and life slows progress on the shop but at least I completed the repairs on the last truss and now have it in place
not having the Sky track or anyone to help install I had to use the fork boom extension I had made for the purpose previously thinking I would have had to install all of them by myself anyway.
I used part of a left over truss as the brace for this one the next day when there is light winds I will install the other half to connect the center truss to the #4 truss

With MT you can Mill.
I remember this guy who got a drill press and had standard taper and he couldn't figure why the drill chuck would fall out trying to mill.
I have done extensive work with the true trace duplicators.
If the mill is fixed a good set of compounds is all you need.

I have milled with a standard drill press, just have to go really slow. Mostly milling aluminum or brass though, both soft metals.

If you have a rotary table you could make magnet rotors easy.
