I have two of the Singer sewing machine foot speed controls. Would these
work on a drill press? I guess one would just wire them directly to the
cord. Yes? No? Definitely? Maybe? I bought them, along with two
barbecue spit motors to someday make a welding positioner. Although my
latest idea is to make a gas tank tumbler to clean out my welder gas tank
with some sand and metal nuts and washers.

Unlikely. I believe those work with universal type motors, and most
drill presses do not use that type of motor.

BBQ motors will be too slow. I built a SCUBA tank tumbler and you want
the tank turning at around 25 RPM or so with a sand / water slury
inside.

Yes, if your drillpress is powered by a sewing machine motor. I have
one like that, a little Cameron MicroDrill.

Ooooo!!! You have a Cameron????? Way cool!
Neat little things.
Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

It is! Model 164, still in production I think. Age indeterminate --
it belonged to a friend's dad who was an independent machinist in LA
for many years, retired in the late '60's. It needs a new belt.
Probably available from Cameron if I'd ever remember to call 'em and
ask about it.
I use it for drilling circuitboards with small carbide bits.
