No, its far from good. Because Drill presses are not designed for sideways load and thus you screw the bearings very quickly.
It will also be time consuming and wont result in a particularly good product.
That said I have seen a few people that have done very good work with drill presses etc.
If you want a good performing block that's easy on a drill press, I suggest you do a #rotor block.
