Andy,
I've used one for YEARS {Drill Guide type}. . . have it in my 'carpentry'
bucket attached to a 3/8 in Rockwell drill. Not a Craftsman and 90 deg only.

Works like a champ . . . WITHIN it's accuracy potential !! Make sure you
prick a good center hole, or use a 'brad point' bit for maximum effect. It's
also handy when I need something very close to a 90 deg or 'straight' hole
when I'm working aboard, in some cramped space, or where I've 'missed' a
hole on an 'almost complete' project.

HOWEVER . . . NEITHER device is stable enough to use as a 'spindle sander'.

I have to agree...I have had a similar device for years also...and I
have "some old" 3/8 inch drill attached to it ....do not use it much

BUT it sure does come in handy sometimes... In other words I have
gotten my moneys' worth out of it ten fold when I really needed
it...in both time saved and jobs done right...

Forget the Spindle Sander idea...
