I hope someone can answer your question, but if you don't get a response here, Mal, it would be worth posting again on the 'Buying Advice' Board. There could be a 'general' woodworker who doesn't view this board but who might have an answer.

If stripping down a bench grinder will work then you can buy one from B&Q for less than £15.

Are you thinking of making a Disc sander or a Drum sander out of the old grinder If its a drum sander I would be interested in how you do it.
Keep us posted

Hi guys I have finished up with a bench grinder that my son gave me. I have just saved a fortune on my first sanding mop,I have enough abrasives of e.bay to do 3 different grades for just £3.65 a mop, It's just taken me 2 hours to make one and it works fantastic ,well pleased. When I get my second one made tomorrow I post a pic to show you. I have just looked on an American site there charging $40.00 plus shipping. I just hope the abrasives I have are as good as there's.
