You'd think someone would make a spindle sander attachment for a
drill press that had a bottom bearing in in a fixed base that could
be clamped to the table. Could be handy for someone with a small
shop, low budget, occasional use.


hear mention of an oscillating attachment for a drill press but have not
sene one


I had one[*], but the stationary OSS worked much better, particularly
for dust collection.
[*] Delta - for a 17" floor drill press.


i wonder if it has something like that

anyway the forces for light sanding are insignificant


I presume you have the data to back this up?


a drill press is made for handling lateral forces


No, a drill press is made to drill holes.
