Everyone did so well on this....... Yes most drill presses have a chuck that goes from 1/16" to 1/2". If the drill is smaller then the 1/16" it may not chuck it at all. The solution is one of these. This one will go down to a #80 drill so for most of us this is small enough...... #80 = .0135" (.343mm) if for some reason you need a #97 (.0059") tough luck I guess. I should also point out these are rated for speed as well and this one is 3500 rpm so no using it in the dremal at 20,000 rpm........
I was building some circuit boards some years back and got this.... then I got the dremal small drill press..... table moved, followed by the larger "sear" drill press where the tool moved.......
