I do it like that all the time... works good!

 

actually if I had a mill, I would do it this way,

I know there is a compagny that sell a carbide bit similar to this one, except that you can attach it to a press drill and use the vise to moove the pipe foward.
I saw this at horspower Tv just can't remember the name of the compagnie that make the bit.

that does work but drill press spindle/bearings arn't designed to take any sort of side load

that's a fact, can't argue with that.

i bet you get all kinds of crazy noises off that mill. A roughing mill on thin walled pipe. If you are having chatter problems just try to find a wooden dowl rod of some sort and shove it in the end of the pipe being notched and that will reduce chatter

 

that would work. but like stated that roughing mill has got to be hellaciously loud.
