While finish sanding some little bowls with a small foot, I needed a smaller disc sander to clean up where I had a nub on the bottom. My 1" sanding disc was too large so I came up with a quick disc,
This is a Morse taper sanding disc but I didn't take the time to turn the Morse taper. I used a block plane instead with a piece of pine. After fitting and refining the taper, I tapped the jig in the headstock and turned the part near the headstock, sawed it off to length and trued up the end with a skew. I left it slightly crowned and added some double sided tape and sandpaper. It worked like a charm and was quick to make.
