Has anyone used Centrotec adapter 496450 with full-size drill press? Does it work in practice and is worth getting for the purpose?
Centrotec bits have some play in the chuck, with hand drill you can feel and compensate, but what about drill press?
 
With a drill press you want absolute precision and centrotec has a tiny wobble, so no, I would not use it.

Alex is right, but the adaptor is very cheap and it may offer some utility benefit .. depending on your applications.

If the adapter is not recommended, is there another way to use centrotec bits like the Zobo in a drill press?

Yes, clamp them directly into the chuck of the drill press.
