I see this many times but wonder how relevant it is to home hobbyist 
types as opposed to machine shop types. Even if Joe HH already has a 
drill press, chances are it doesn't have cross-slides with T-slots so 
the mini-mill naturally becomes the drill press of choice. In other 
words he ends up using the mill more for drilling than milling and the 
supplied 1/2" R8 shank chuck behaves no differently from the chuck in 
his drill press. What am I missing?
