I tried this last year , with a little experimenting yes it will work on the mill. The trick appears to be how much material to take out to make it hollow when you take it apart and flip it around. once you take it apart it does always line back up well if you decide to take more of it out. I never did cut enough out and when I would flip the pieces around my hole was almost non existent . I used large Crown moulding bits (about 2 in, wide)
