    Hi Everyone, I recently purchased a used Handler dust collector
    cabinet with a Baldor polishing lathe permanently bolted on top
    under the dust hoods.  The Baldor motor has the 3/8 inch quick
    change tapered shafts.  This dust collector has tremendous suction
    and will make my finishing area a lot cleaner and safer. 

    Here is my problem.  I do a great deal of pre-finish sanding using a
    3 inch sanding drum that uses cut strips of abrasive paper.  At
    present I only have dust masks to protect me from the dust this drum
    sander throws off.  This sanding drum will only mount on to an 1/2
    inch straight motor shaft.  I would like to use this sanding drum on
    the Baldor polishing lathe with the quick change tapered shafts.  I
    already have most of the Baldor spindles (Baldor calls them chucks)
    that are used to mount accessories on to the  Baldor lathe.  You can
    see these spindles on page 380 of the Rio Grande 2001 tool catalog. 

    Where can I buy or have made a adapter spindle that will accept the
    sanding drum?  It would have to be a 3/8 inch taper on the inside
    and an1/2 inch straight shaft on the outside.  Any ideas? Thank you.  
    David Luck
