One line summary – I want a two-side small flap sander with interchangeable drums using a chuck - the key word is interchangeable! (I need it stationary not on a flex shaft as I need to use both hands to hold the piece.)
I need either a chuck that replaces the grinder wheel on a 5/8 coarse thread grinder shaft, or a motor with chuck combination. As an example, I want the “motor not included” motor on the Lee Valley site :

An example of the drums I want to change back and forth use is the Kirjes inflatable drums from Lee Valley (Part number 68Z50.61)
Now I did try adding these shaft/adapter chucks from Lee Valley to my grinder [/URL]

and even with much time and much adjustment the runout was so bad my grinder nearly vibrated off the bench.
The mandrel at Lee Valley

only allows for a chuck on one side only and I need two sided. ( (http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&cat=1,43072,45939,41743&p=41743)[url]www.seyco.com sells this as a kit)
Now the Grizzly http://grizzly.com/products/G8749 (http://grizzly.com/products/G8749) only takes proprietary drums with internal threads. The Sand Flee at http://www.rjrstudios.com (http://www.rjrstudios.com/) , the Foredom Bench Lathe and the motor at http://www.seyco.com (http://www.seyco.com/) all use the Lee Valley “adapter” approach – ergo runout!
Can anyone help me source a two sided, non runout, non proprietary drum thread, chucked sanding motor ?
Thanks
Malcolm
