Thanks for sharing @Mattsbagger, that looks like a good set up!

 

I have a dremel with coco bolo heads attached , but as i have to hold it on my hand and the leather work in the other i find it is a slow process, if there was some way i could use it freehand it would be great. would anyone know of any solutions?

 

Thanks!

I'm using a Dremel also. Clamp it in on top of this bench.... https://www.lowes.com/pd/WORX-Pegasus-31-in-W-x-32-in-H-Plastic-Work-Bench/1000034439?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-ToolsAndHardware-_-WorkSupports-_-1000034439:WORX&CAWELAID=&kpid=1000034439&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=597&k_clickID=c616c75f-fc8c-42ea-aa2d-c4e83253e536&gclid=Cj0KCQjwx43ZBRCeARIsANzpzb_L1NzepEDFlzStHQt8p7MvpAur7gcoyPaVYwvs7IyeOcLdSsZy-s0aAt9mEALw_wcB

They do make holders that essentially turn a Dremel into a small drill press.  The link below shows some pictures:

Here's an amazon link for one of the versions:

I use one of those as well and can vouch...it's really useful! Just today I was sharpening some hole punches for some grommet work I'm doing for boat canvas tomorrow...

I know a few years have gone by. I am looking to sand and burnish leather, too. But because I work with industrial sewing machines, I wondered if the "servo" motor made for sewing machines would work? like this one? 

This is shipped by Amazon:
