I am honest and my opinion is, that this motor is not suited for milling and neither the clutch. The motor can't stand axial forces because of the brass barring and the clutch no radial forces because its made for drilling.

But some million turns the motor will do and maybe the clutch is just fine and runs concentric..



Look at the last picture of the proxxon above: the tiny (high speed/high precision/industrial-grade) ball barring at the tip holds both forces. the motor mounted above just needs to be 100% in line and concentric with the spindle axis. In this type of construction your motor would work as well.
But the Chinese took the shortcut and directly welded a clutch to the motor itself..
