A bench mounted disc sander is the simplest of tools. I own two, a small high speed Jarmac and a slower speed home made one with a 12” disc. The only proprietary parts for this homemade tool are a motor and a metal flange. Other parts are easily knocked up from plywood. I never throw out an old motor! While both the Ultimation and Byrnes sanders appear to be well made tools I see no need to spend the kind of money that they cost.

For small jobs I made up this 2" disc sander,it can also be used as a circular saw - not tried that -- yet!
That’s a nice-looking piece of kit, Stuart. From whence came the motor?
It's one of those cheapy China bead lathes off of ebay, not much use as a lathe as in 'turning', but can be used to hold small dowels for tapering spars. If you want a motor, there're plenty on there.
