Hi Ladd
I would suggest the item below, I have one and it's great,,, so many times you want to sand a item that is not strait or it can be setup to sand strait items as well with just a quick home made jig...(1/2" to 3" drums will fit the tool)
Plus because it's bench top model it will fit on the bench top or under it to save shop space, I use mind all the time...
You can always use a brad nailer, elec.or air

for just one more item..
