I can't say if it's safe or not. But most drill press motors aren't as powerful as the router motors. So, I would try say a 1 inch round over bit on hardwood. The other concern is that drills are made to go down and not really to have pressure put on them from the side. Sure you can use spindle sanders in them, but even then you have to take care not to put too much pressure on them. Would I do this? No, because I have a router. Is it safe? I suppose it could be if you're not doing huge projects with huge bits. I think any of the bits that you don't have to press against a barring would be safer to use like the v-shaped cutters in that case you're running the wood under the bit not against it...

Is it safe to put router bits in drill chucks? Routers use Colletts which hold bits more securely, perhaps? If I can get a drill press and a Bitmoore milling vise, I was thinking of putting router bits in the drill press. So, my question is, is it safe to do this? I wouldn't want to be hit by a flying tool bit. John -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
