Agreed. Your drill chuck won't be the limiting factor in finding that edge. More likely, you'll lose accuracy from your mill/drill press not being trammed and the actual edge finder itself (only good to within a few thou).

A drill press really isn't as accurate as a mill even if you're just drilling holes and not taking any passes with an endmill. It's just not made to be as accurate.
