Default Can I do this?

OK, simply put, buddy of mine sent me a ton of 3/4" shank bits (usable in wood) of quality higher (many brand new) than anything I can get. Have LOTS of them - want to use.

Can I 'try' and find a used or broken CNC - for the motor and fittings, and convert to a table mounted (underneath), or am I out of my mind?

I know almost nothing of the CNC machines - and simply want the ability to utilize these bits. I've had the suggestion of getting a shaper table and having a custom fitted (fabricated) conversion for a CNC 3/4" collet - but that includes buying a shaper and then having the piece customized - then spinning the bits below their normal speed... Lots of hoops to jump through.

If I'm out of my mind... Just let me know.

thanx as always.
