Oscillating Spindle Sanders

Does anyone know of a maker of these that makes a smaller spindle diameter than 1/2 inch? The only one I've looked at was a Delta B.O.S.S. @ the local Lowes store in town.I do one carving that is real popular and I need a way to speed up one part of the process.I need one with at most a 3/8 inch spindle.If I can't find anything smaller, I may have to modify my plans.

I have not seen any commercially available but I bet you could make one with a dowel and some paper. perhaps a saw kerf centered in the dowel to make it a mandrel... some super glue.... double sided tape.... chuck the dowel in the drill press or hand drill. Also dremel etc. type tools do have some small ones. Just some thoughts.

oops, I misread what you were looking for. :

I thought you were looking for the business end of the thing not the machine. sorry it is late and I should be in bed. g'night.
