Bob Harrison said:I have been a machinist for 30 years and have never heard of this type of cutting tool. After seeing the video I'm hooked, what a great idea.
As far as round heat treated tool blanks go you can get them from most machinist tool suppliers in any size you would like, just google them..

But don't try to shape the tool steel with a cheapo grinder. Unless you have tons of time and patience.
Just looking at what I done I was also gonna play with the tool profile. I'm thinking that a concave tool shape would cut better than than just flat.
Thoughts?

Hey Ben I have tried this and it works but you have to take shallow cuts....Try it in scrap and you'll get the hang of it in short order. Take care Jim
Has anyone considered using actual router bits in the drill press? Thats what I do. I lost all my routers and router tables in my recent divorce. Some how I managed to hold onto my drill press. (only cause she couldnt pick it up and carry it out of the garage) I chuck up router bits and use it like a vertical end mill.

Drill presses are actually too slow. The bits will chew the wood up.

I agree they are slow mine will spin up to 2860 RPM. But so far Im having good luck not chewing up wood. The most difficult aspect of using the drill press as a router is holding the wood and 'free" cutting material away. And remembering to feed in the right direction ...feeding right instead of left.
