Drill Press Machining: Hacks, Tips and Tricks
While this video is primarily about how to wring way more functionality out of your drill press, there are also several great tips in here about workflow efficiency, dust collection, and a wickedly easy way to create a micro-vacuum for through cleaning. Here industrial designer Eric Strebel shows you how to hack your drill press into a milling machine and more:

All of the chatter caused by side loading the cheap sleeve bearings in a dimestore press will make a Morse taper chuck wobble off the spindle pretty reliably, so you should really only attempt this in extra-grabby aluminum if you happen to be into trepanning.
And it's not like the results are even close enough to passable to be worth the risk. Are all of the decisions those other two handles present really taxing his cognitive bandwidth to the point that he can't see the nearly 1/16" worth of runout turning everything he touches into a hideous, chewed-up mess? All the stammering suggests it's a distinct possibility, but either way, this is a very irresponsible "tip" which can get someone seriously injured and really should not be proliferated by anyone without a substantial legal budget.
I agree, you definitely need to be careful when using the drill press in a way it was not exactly intended to be used. I will say, chatter has been greatly reduced with a new chuck. If you feel it's not safe to use a drill press at a milling machine, don't use it that way.
