An 8” Ø wooden disc, cut with the http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/c...1954#post75482, attached to a threaded flange (don’t tell anyone, but here I am reusing a discarded oil filter), and sandpaper glued to the disc face, turns the wood lathe into a disc sander.

A table, clamped to the lathe table, supports the workpiece when straight borders are needed; otherwise, freehand sanding can be used. Again, I used the http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/h...1857#post75289, in a groove of the table, as an adjustable pivot for sanding circular pieces.
