    Just wondering if it's possible to grind a bog standard drill down to make a flat end mill.

    I only need the end mill to cut acrylic, but I need some odd diameter sizes that are (seemingly) only available as drill bits - so that got me thinking....when is an end mill a drill & vice versa!

    So for the purposes of cutting acrylic...is turning a drill bit into an end mill do-able?
