You should not use a mortising bit in a regular drill press because drill presses are not designed to handle the lateral forces and special chisel attachments required for mortising. Using a mortising bit this way can damage the drill press and result in poor-quality mortises. For proper mortising, use a dedicated mortising machine or a drill press fitted with a compatible mortising attachment.
