TY for pointing that out. Good point. But, isn't that a "shaper" bit in
the 4th and 5th pictures
at the bottom of the page??

It's a sanding drum. And yes, it would experience some lateral
pressure similar to what a shaper bit would experience. However, the
lateral pressure would be much less. One other thing to consider too.
Drill presses operate at much slower RPMs than shapers and routers. I
doubt whether a drill press could spin a shaper bit fast enough to
effectively cut wood.
