Awesome if you have a lathe... <G>

I turn down a 4" square 1" thick piece of
pine and end up with a piece 3 1/2" dia.
The 4"inch piece is first centered using a 1/4 x 20 x 2" hanger bolt. A
standoff or chuck adapter 1" long is screwed on the machine end of the
hanger bolt and the screw end of the hanger bolt=A0is screwed into the
center of the wood and this wood is put in the live center 'of the
lathe. The standoff goes in the chuck of qthe lathe.
After turning wood down to 3 1/2 dia.
saw 1/8 cerf in side 1/2" deep. Put foam padding psa around outside of
piece and leave room at cerf for 1" strip 9" long (80)
grit)to go around outside of padding and put 3/8 at ends in cerf.
I use the finished producct to sharpen my chisels. Hope you can make
heads or tails to this description.

Never really looked for one, I live 40 miles to the nearest any kind of
hardware store and tend to make what I need. I made a 9" disk sander
attachment for my rotating head lathe in a pinch in one project out of a
scrap of 3/4 baltic birch and have never stopped using it... have even since
modified the work table for dust collection. That worked so well I turned
out a 2", 4" 6" and 8" drums that fit my Nova chuck cut a saw kerf across
to tuck the paper ends in and glued on standard sheet sandpaper. Made the
drums out of Hickory that was out in the firewoord pile...
Guess that would help. ;-) I would probably still try to figure out a way
to get around buying another tool unless I really knew I could make use of
it. I've seen sanding disks made for a table saw. Once at a job site I saw a
circular saw clamped upside down to a sawhorse with a makeshift sanding
disk in it. More 'n one way to skin a cat...

That looks like a good combination to me. I once had the expensive Delta
disk/belt sander combo
http://www.deltawoodworking.com/index.asp?e=136&p=825. I also have the
oscillating spindle sander and drum sander. With the Delta disk and belt
sander, I seldom used the belt sander, but the disk sander got a lot of use.
For a belt sander, I would rather have an edge sander
http://www.deltawoodworking.com/index.asp?e=136&p=4725 along with a disk
sander. The combination you are talking about seems to be a good idea.

I have one, and it works well for what it is. <G> I also have a set
of drum sanders for my drill press. But this baby would be sitting
there, ready to go, all hooked up to the DC. No swapping out the TS
blade, no jury rigging the DC hose around the drill press... <G>
