I don't think there are any for bench top kind unless you get a
dedicated mortiser. There's just not enough travel on a bench top
drill press for mortising IMO.

Does anyone know if an add on mortising kit for a drill press will
work with a bench to model drill press. I know it would work with a
floor model but not sure about the bench top kind.

The Delta kit will certainly fit the Delta 12 inch bench top model.
The travel is less but enough for many uses. There are other minuses
versus the dedicated mortiser such as less leverage and harder set up.
