Are there any common drill attachments that go in place of the chuck?

So that when the chuck is removed, the attachment can be screwed on in
place of the chuck.

I just need a keyword to search for. Assuming it exists. Of course it
would be drill chuck thread specific.

Thanks.

And, continuing what Lloyd said, when the taper mounted drill is mounted its much steadier and stronger. It could also be cheaper, depending on how many different size drill bits you are going to use. But you need to go looking on the metal working side of the house.

One last thing, assuming your drill press does have a #2 Morse Taper, changing the bits will only require a slight tap with the a drift designed for your drill press, which is a wedged shaped of steel that slides in the slot on the quill and presses down on the end of the bit/taper.
