Umm, sanding concave curves... 

I use similar items frequently on woodworking projects. If you can use 
one hand to hold the project piece and the other to move the drill 
press spindle up & down you'll get an even finer finish. I also made an 
auxillary table with a hole in it so the sanding drum can project below 
the surface slightly - that way the entire edge gets sanded without 
having the sanding drum contacting the table.
