You chuck one knob in the lathe chuck and the ball end mill in the tailstock chuck??? Another skinned cat!

I have been on the lookout for a tool post milling attachment for years. I owned one once; they are great! Basically a mill vise mounted on an L-shaped base, it has a center pivot so you can turn it 360º. It also has a screw to allow lengthwise movement.

It makes any operation so much easier.
