Talking from experience, get the right tool for the job. As stated earlier, check out Ebay and buy a starter. It is designed to work and it does. By the time you get through buying a socket large enough to hold a starter cone, and buy a cone, and then buy an addaptor for your drill. Try to drill holes in a socket to keep the cone from slipping, buy a couple more drills because you broke a couple trying to drill the socket and after a couple weeks screwing with the project, you get it done to find it doesn't really do the job. You go out and buy a starter off ebay.

I've been down that path more times that I should have. Experience tells me that it will be less expensive buying the right tool in the first place, and it sure saves me a lot of time for what I wanted the tool for. Now, if your enjoyment comes from modifying something to do what it wasn't designed to do, and that brings more pleasure than, say flying, by all means go for it.
