Having tried a similar approach a few years ago, I can testify that if your chuck is secured in the drill press via Morse taper, do not use these. Danger comes when the chuck frees itself from the vibrations and drops ... still spinning at whatever RPM you were using. Been there, done that and fortunately uninjured.
@@MMWoodworking I believe many chucks on smaller drill presses are secured to the shaft with a bolt or screw up inside between the 3 clamping jaws, but I've had no experience with them. My drill press is the only one I've owned ... a Craftsman floor model with a 3/4" chuck. I bought it for when I was doing a lot of steel work because its table has a threaded drain hole for connecting a coolant recirculating system which I used, and because many of the drill bits I used had Morse tapers in lieu of using the chuck.

Interesting. That was my one major question mark. What other chuck types are out there?
Thanks for the heads up!
