The downside to that is that most of those adapters will only fit on a full sized drill press and even if you could manage to fit it on a benchtop, you had better have the press clamped down to keep it from flipping off of the bench with the force you might need to apply to the handle.  I have one of those sets and have used it a few times but with the force I have to apply to my drill press to use it, I plan on buying a dedicated machine next year.  Maybe I can get it as a Christmas present from my wife.   ;)

Instead, ask her for a good plate/biscuit joiner unless you're doing thru tenons/exposed stuff like for arts and crafts.  With modern glues, traditional m & t joinery is just that, traditional.  You can do many things with that plate joiner too...

I already have a biscuit joiner and it works well for gluing up panels and keeping them aligned until the glue sets but when it comes to strength, not much beats mortise and tennon, especially with solid wood where some movement is required.

Never thought I would get into a joinery debate in here...  Next the pocket hole guys will be joining in.  ;D.

I have a Kreg pocket hole system as well and it sure does make face frames easy and fast.  I have not built a case with it but have seen it done and although it appears to be relatively solid, you do use a lot of screws doing that.

Get RJ to do it (after bribing him with cookies) on his fancy-schmancy CNC machine (not hating, just jealous he has such cool tools).
