Howdy again,
I need to drill some flat-bottomed holes in a piece of nickel silver, and was wondering if I could start out with a regular drill bit of the appropriate diameter, and then switch to one of these to square off the bottom:

Is there a reason my drill press couldn't use these end mills? The RPM range listed on many milling machines I see looks about the same.
Thanks,
Warren
