I believe Shopsmith may also have something like this.  If you call their
tollfree number (800/543-9396) they may send you a catalog.  I bought one
of their sanding disks (16" or 18") to use on my drill press for shaping
hammers -- it's set up so the sanding face is vertical like a table saw
blade.
