One solution I've tried is to use a bearing, or a live center, to push
against the end of the sanding drum arbor or whatever.? This
complicates the setup a bit but can reliably hold the arbor in the
spindle.

Yeah, I started avoiding that on my press years ago when I learned that,
but still end up doing it occasionally.
Does anybody think you might be able to mount a couple bearings or wheels
on a bar or piece of wood, then clamp them to the drill press table to
act sort of like a horizontal follower rest against the rear of the
sanding drum,etc.? Seems easy enough, but would that block enough of the
side pressure? I think I asked about it on a bump knurler here, but the
issue of the follower wheels crushing the newly knurled pattern came up.
Seems like if you're only pressing against a sanding drum it wouldn't
matter.
