I think this is what it is called. I am looking for a wheel that attaches to a grinder that has flaps of sandpaper on it for rounding edges in curves or sanding uneven surfaces. I can't seem to find them and the ones I have found seem to not look that good. Any links or sugestions?

Lee Valley has some, but I think they're for a drill, not sure if they'd work on a grinder.

Drill might work

A fellow woodworker I know uses the ones at Woodcraft (a couple of different grits) to final sand spoons and spatulas he makes out of scraps.

They have them. (sanding stars)I have used numerous grits on my drill press and they (along with pneumatic sanding drums) work great for sanding contours.
