I've done this before. But to be fair it was a large Milwaukee corded drill from the olden days that you could lean on almost completely. It was years ago so I may be under estimating the time, but I kind of don't fuck around when I know what I want.

What you're getting out of a drill press is a powerful motor, and the ability to actually press into the metal to cut (assuming a sharp bit and OIL!).

Totally different subject, but my uncle was talking about some machine tools that are designed a little differently that somehow don't heat the metal being cut nearly as much (has something to do with the heat transfer into the piece being cut away). It's amazing stuff that makes a huge difference. It's also hundreds of dollars per bit and they are drenched in cutting fluid.

Torque is your friend when drilling as long as it doesn't kick back ( goodbye wrist) slow speed reduces heat as does cutting oil . I have a old all steel 1/2in drill and a 1/4 in with a bad trigger. I had a all steel skill worm drive saw but it started overheating so I sold it at a garage sale - it was tooooo heavy anyway.
