My drill press has a milling table, and it is easy to use it to make a ram rod. I just lock the doll in the chuck and adjust the jaws of the vice on the milling table to hold it close to the chuck and drill one end, when taping I put the tap in the chuck and turn it by hand, I can do both ends in 10 minutes. I have made a lot of parts with out resorting to the lathe its a lot bigger nuisance to set up.
