I'm a retired custom furniture builder. One of the "must haves" in a furniture builder's shop is a 12" vertical sanding disc. I now make knives and most knife makers use either a 2x72" belt grinder or a 9" disc sander. The choice of 9" for disc sanders is due to the cost of the paper. Most use 9x12 sheets and cut them to fit 9" sanders. I know the disc can be replaced with a 9", but is there any reason this would be a bad modification to a 12" sander. Should I just sell this sander and buy and 9" for the knife work?
