That is wasteful, although possible. Economically, it makes no sense. Sell
those if you must and buy a set of silver/demming drills, they are very
cheap. MT shank drills are not.

I have a selection of large MT2-3 HSS drill bits that I would like to
shorten (to remove the MT) and turn down to approx 13mm diameter to
fit in my lathe tailstock chuck. Is this feesable? How easy will the
material be to turn on my lathe?
