I have a Rockwell/Delta 11-280 drill press. The manual discusses its
use as a router and a shaper. In fact the manual displays a shaper
cutter kit. I haven't used it as either a router or a shaper. But I have
used it as a drum sander.

This isn't a good idea. As has been discussed in this thread
(recently at least), sanding/routing/shaping will put a side load on
the bearings. Drill presses aren't designed to handle force
perpendicular to the bit. This is just asking for terrible runout
when drilling.
I agree. That said, for light duty you could use something like this to minimize the damage...

And you don't suppose Rockwell designed/picked the bearings to handle
suggested uses of the machine?
No. The mounting is all wrong. No matter what, you're not only
putting a side load but torque on the bearing.
Really? How does that work? How is it different from the loads
imposed by drilling?

Plus, they even give instructions on how to replace it.
Come on, now, get real.
It is real. You screw up your drill press. Others would rather not.
