It's not required (except it's a good idea with a forstners bit, from what I understand)... and is helpful with other bits obviously... but plenty of people have done just fine with spade/paddle/hole saw bits without a drill press, including me...
Just wanted to give you more information than you needed, i think=P

drill press isn't the best for this because of the fact that your control panel might just be too wide. There another tool which fits on a hand drill that guilds the bit down for a perpendicular hole. I forgot what it's called. but it goes on your hand drill. I basicall put my control panel on the ground and drill down using my weight to hold the acrylic onto the MDF
