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.
