All you would need to do is adapt from the drill press chuck/shaft to the drum sander 5/8" bore. The shorter the better, as runout may become a problem.

if your drill press chuck has a #2 MT you could remove the chuck from the drill press and use a SS tailstock chuck adapter then add the drum sander. works for me.
