   Thats a good idea to use the old saw. you can always tilt the "blade" to sand at an angle. Hook up some kind of dust colection too.

   Bill,

   A nod to previous answers, however you're going to have to change the pulleys in order to bring the arbor speed down to around 1000 rpm.  At the 3450 you're turning now you'll be doing more burning than sanding.

   This saw has a 1/2 HP 1700 RPM Motor on it.

   I have no idea what the pulley ration is.

   Hopefully, it won't have a burning problem.

   If it does I'll change pulleys.

   Thanks

   I have a carbide sanding disk, 10", that I used for outside radii till I got an edge sander, and it worked fine.  Have no idea where I got it, or what it cost, but it still works after many hours.

   Billy, I did just that with an old craftsmen cable drive saw. I cut a 10" disk out of mdf I varnished each side and the edge after truing up on the saw.I use regular PSA 10" disks. I did not change the pulleys and have no problem with burning as a previous poster mentioned.I have 60 grit on one side and 100 grit on the other.I have been using this setup for 3 years , works great.
