I was in a machine shop store this morning buying parting tools and I saw a rack of carbide rasps that look like reduced shank lolipop cutters, tapered barrel cutters, and bullnose cutters. Some of them are ground and visibly look to have the same edge quality as an uncoated carbide endmill for aluminum. They're like 10 dollars each, I'm wondering if anyone uses these for CNC machining? I've never used rasps before but the bullnose reduced shank cutters in particular would be very useful to me. Or maybe this comes across as a "just go sideways with a jobber drill in a drill press" question....But maybe it's worth a try?
