While people have done this there are some down sides like speed and are you doing the saw any good. There is one low cost disc sander for those who have a lathe however. Cut out a disc of mdf, ply or other sheet goods (I used 35mm thick mdf) and mount it on a faceplate. Trim it up to round on the lathe. Build a table that sits on the lathe bed and buy a pack of sanding discs. It only takes seconds to mount it on the lathe and does not take up much shed space when off the lathe. A good range of speeds also. I built it for lathe work but soon found it handy for other stuff. I do have a small benchtop belt/disc job but these days it hardly gets any use.RegardsJohn
