Take a look at any of the many drill-mills out there, like this one as an example. Its good enough....just....to do steel. If you want to cut steel
you'll need to do at least as well if not better...and this thing is made of cast iron and has ground dovetails....not an easy task to match let
alone exceed.

Hi Joe, I'm not planing to cut steel all day long, I need the machine to do it with even lower feed, when I need it, to get me started so I maybe after this machine I build a better.
