    Are you talking about something like this:

    Grizzly makes a smaller but cheaper one and Sandrite makes some really nice ones.
    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    I bought the Guinevere system made by King Arthur Tools (www.katools.com) last year to do the same thing and it works great. It's not inexpensive either, though.

    Van I want just the sanding drums to mount on my lathe with a arbor that I can make. Tom I've bought the Guinevere system and it works good. But I want something a little bigger that has more flex.

    I haven't seen anything larger than about 5-5 1/2" long that can be chucked, the longer ones I have seen are designed to be put on a shaft... There well may be stuff out there, good luck.
