Something you may want to look at ,assuming that you have an arbor adapter

It is a 10' disc with sticky back sanding discs. I bought a small second
hand table saw from Craig's List and used the disc as a permanent sander.
You might check out PriceCutter.com, item #510-1000, about $35.00. Can shoot
you a pic if interested, or post on ABPW



You may also want to look at a Shopsmith disk sanding attachment. It
uses a 5/8" shaft, but an adaptor sleeve for 1/2" should be easy to
fabricate.

Like this one:

They are available all the time on ebay. I have one of the older
aluminum ones and I think they are better. Search ebay for Shopsmith
and you will probably find one going for $20.
