I don't have a 5" version, but I just tried it freehand (no 
jig) on the edge of the drill press table with a 2" 60 grit 
disc and it works just fine. Actually, 40 grit would probably 
be better. Moved to near the center the square hung small 
treble hammers also work just fine with the shank resting on 
the table to keep them aligned. Why won't the 5" version work?

With the stop set on the drill press, that might prove 
unnecessary beyond initial setup and spot checks.
