You can do all a milling machine can do with a hacksaw and files! Very theraputic I think.

I built HH's advanced grinding rest some years ago. I used a mill but I don't think there was anything I could not have done using the vertical slide on my lathe. It might depend on what lathe and vertical slide you have though.

Yes, but don't hold the cutter in a drill chuck.
