I have two drill presses in my shop that have never had a drill chuck

shop used with a drill chuck in it, but I immediately knocked the
taper out and installed an MT2-ER25 collet chuck instead.

I need to look into a collet chuck for mine. I have a 3/4-inch shank
end mill bit that i have been wanting to try out

Not sure what you intend to do, but note that drill presses
do not care to have sideways loads applied. That's why
mill cutters are run in mills, not drill presses.
