I wouldn't use one with wood, I would use a conventional dead centre if it was to drive and I certainly wouldn't use one in the tailstock with wood.

They don't spin in the tailstock unless it's not seated properly, so would be ideal for facing off with metal and as you say it would act like a drill with wood.
