Interesting I think I like it now I just need to get a disk sander. I have a miter slot on my Ridgid oscillating spindle sander maybe I could make this concept work in conjunction with the belt sanding attachment.....hmmmm. Thanks 

You could definitely apply this method to the Ridgid.  In a different vein; I had an EB4424 and used to use a simple jig to allow me to edge joint with the spindle.  I cannot find any pics but it was just a hole drilled in the edge of a milled piece of scrap clamped to the table.  I took a few shavings off the "infeed" side with a hand plane.  You set the "outfeed" face even with the outer diameter of the spindle . . . if that made any sense.

I'll keep looking for a pic of it in use; I know I have some.

@gee-dub It seems I've seen a version of the jointer method you mentioned but, it was on a drill press with a drum sanding bit, I think it was a episode of The Woodsmith shop, I could be wrong.

That could be very well where I got the idea :).  I tend to gather a lot of folks good ideas as I go along and put them or a variation of them into use later on.  This is why I share some of this random stuff in the hope that it will benefit someone else down the road.
