where would i find a sanding wheel that would be compatible or switched out with a tablesaw blade – to turn my tablesaw into a bench sander?

I bought one at Sears a little over 30 years ago. Pressure sensitive sanding disks.
Flat one side and a 2 degree bevel on the other side so you can use it as a jointer. It actually works as long as you can set your TS at 2 degrees.
Found it! Part Number 9-2274. 8" diameter, 5/8 arbor.

Thanks alot Ralph! i appreciate it!
Make your own.
I did.
10" plywood blade. Ground all the teeth off. Glued sandpaper to it with the adhesive made especially for glueing sandpaper disks.
It worked very well.
(Years ago, and tablesaw and all are long gone.)
Are we there yet ?
I bought a 10" sanding wheel, #922723 from Sears earlier this year. It's a metal disk with a different grit (medium and coarse - actual grit #'s aren't listed) on each side. I paid $16.99. It's got a 5/8" arbor hole, and they say it'll work on both table and radial arm saws. It works very well, and is a useful accessory for those that don't have a separate large disk/belt sander.
I bought one a few years ago and only used it once. Mounted it my cheap little Craftsman bench saw and fired her up. I think my"Sander" might have been out of round. I got major vibration and the saw hadn't been the same since. So I wouldn't recomend it for a bench saw.
