Drill Press ?

I want a milling machine. I ran across a milling machine that fits on a drill press. It bolts down on the holes in the plate for the clamp on the drill press.
They have some for 40 dollars but i think they are to lightweight. They have some for about 120 dollars and i was wondering if anybody tried either of them?
I hate to waste the money.

A milling machine is WAY more accurate and stable than any drill press.
Almost all drill presses have a base plate/table that is only on a round shaft with a
tooth and cog height adjustment.
A true milling machine has all it's ways {slots for adjustments} MILLED into angled steel bars.
You will be trying to measure/cut/mill small amounts on a foundation that is NOT stable.
To Jim's mill.
A cheap mill is much better than a "good mill attachment".
Yep
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
