I once made a jig to use a small oscillating bobbin sander, the workpiece was fed in on it's side. It was basically a hinged piece of plywood with a threaded rod adjustment so the gap between the drum and the plywood could be adjusted. Obviously the workpiece was then fed into the gap.

I also remember seeing someone build a machine like you mentioned using a hand held belt sander in a jig.

I think you'd probably need to build your own if you want a sanding equivalent without having to import.
Yeah thanks for the link but it is a bit to big for waht I need :)

Yeas M_C i was thinking about maybe making one , they dont look to complicated tbh, I have a planer and thicknesser it works well, but I have an idea for something and I want to sand flat some small thin wood in an ali case. It was only an idea if someone had seen somthing like it on the UK for sale.
