carrying it one step further, have you
guys built some kind of support around
this configuration or just talking about
a hand held setup?

I have a Jet 1236, and the ways are square. I glued together some
2x10 pine, cut two dados on the bottom, and one on the top.

The top just fits a small miter gauge fence I have.

I glued two pieces of 3/4" ply to the bottom into the two dados,
after cutting them so they "just" fit the ways of my lathe.

I can
1) screw on the sanding disk (using Bill Noble faceplates)
2) Drop the platform on the lathe
3) push it snug (it doesn't wobble)
4) Add the miter fence

It was a fast project to do, other than waiting for glue to dry. It's
easy to put on and take off.
