You can get a 10" sanding disk for your table saw. Get the one
with one side tapered.


but don't use the tapered side to try and square up anything - the
taper will assure un-square joints.

To the contrary, the tapered side is what is meant to be used. One
has to tilt the arbor so that the taper is vertical; doing so means
that the wood can be fed into the disk without catching on the edge
of the plate. Additionally, the taper provides only one point of
contact for the wood which means all sanding will be linear and
parallel to the direction of feed rather than circular.

If you use the tapered side with the arbor tilted you end up with a
"Hollow Ground" surface.

That would depend solely upon how uniformly the stock is fed.
