My experience with a drill didn't work well. It doesn't seem to have the needed RPMs. A bench grinder may work if properly set up. You'll need to find an arbor. It doesn't appear Eastwood sells them anymore. However, a $40 buffer from Harbor Freight may be a good investment. Since I've had my setup I've used it on dozens of items and have somewhat regretted not getting a real buffer. Be sure whatever you decide to secure it to a workbench so it stays in place.
