Drill Press Problem!!!

[texasfootball21]

I have a Ryobi 10 inch drill press. It is a very cheap 100 dollar, basic tabletop drill press.
I use it to drill wood pieces to make pens. I went to make a pen kit that I hadn't tried before. I ordered about 10 of the kits, they cost me between 13-20 dollars depending on the material they were made of. The pen blanks need to be drilled with a 10.5 mm and 12.5 mm bit. I went to put the bit into the chuck and IT DOESN'T FIT. The chuck's 1/2 inch capacity is way too small to hold the bit.

So heres the question: Do they have replacement chucks that fit my drill press, a bigger chuck that would hold the bit? Where, in SA, would I get it, and how much does it cost? (I don't want to spend a ton to fix up a $100 drill press.) Would home depot have something? I would prefer buying it locally as opposed to online because I need to make about 10 pens over about 3 weeks and they can take me between 3-6 hours a pen (depending on material).
