If it were a lathe, it would be called a faceplate. Might want to

Me, I have a 12" sanding jig for my lathe. It's plywood. Can you
bolt a plywood disk to an adapter?

Yes, I think that it would be better to use a bigger motor for this
application. I have a 2 HP three phase motor. I could buy a $11 pulley
from McMaster and bolt a plywood disc to that pulley. Then I would
have a more serious sander (with ability to use this motor for other
purposes also).

See McMaster item 6245K57 for example.
