if your drill press, like mine, holds the chuck by means of a taper,
forget about it, it will not work at all. Do not even bother trying.

I want to remove the chuck with its MT2-B16 adaptation and buy some
milling tool holder in MT2 directly in the spindle (or quill?)


But you'll still need a drawbar INSIDE your spindle to hold the milling
adapter in the spindle. A very few drill presses have such a drawbar.
The vast majority do NOT! Without a positive locking device (like a
drawbar) to hold the chuck/adapter/cutter in the spindle you are asking
for BIG trouble!

You MAY get away with it, some do, but it's always a BAD idea!
