         I found this homemade spindle sander:

         If you don't want it to oscillate, then what you need is really 
nothing more than a motor mounted in a box.

         Rather than figuring out how to mount & wire up a motor - how 
about taking a small bench grinder, turning it 90deg and mounting it in a 
box similar to the above link?

         The trick in either case is matching up the motor shaft to 
whatever arbor/chuck works with the burnishing tools you use.  You may have 
to weld up an adapter to make it work.
