Default Sanding a perfect circle on a disk sander


Some time ago, on the DIY network I think, I saw a jig being used on a
disk/belt sander to sand a perfect circle (against the disk). I can't
find it online though. Anybody got a pointer to one?

I have done it, so easy it's preposterous. Say the simplest circle cutting jig for
use on a band saw:

A nail in a small board.

The side of this board is up against the blade, or the disc. The circle wood the
same width from the center, where the nail is.

The nail as well goes into your circle board kinda like a hinge, turn slowly to
cut or disc sand. It all must be measured from the nail to the [cutter] to the
size wheel you want, again center to [cutter]

The lower board must be larger so it can be clamped down onto the table, I got
great results using the same on both machines.
