Storing sanding discs
this lovely wet weather brings out the faults in stuff and my ROS discs keep rolling up. I read/saw somewhere something for storing them flat. So I would like your ideas please.
I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

Try keeping them in an airtight box with one or two of those gel packs.

Mine are held together in grit size packs with a rubber band, no problems as of yet.

I recall seeing a little device made from a base of wood with a bunch of dowels to match the holes on the disks then another piece of wood with matching holes to slip over the top of the lot.
personally I just keep them in the packets they come in, no probs yet.____________________________

I went to one of those computer swap meets and purchased a 5-1/4" floppy disk storage case. I've been storing my ROS H&L disks in that case.
Also, IMNSHO, quality H&L disks don't curl in humid weather.

Those portable expanding files from stationers/office supplies work a treat. Get one with a carry handle.
No. Get 3, one each for ROS discs, sandpaper, Wet & Dry.Brian

You could get a old (not working) small or large fridge and install a 5-10-watt globe init to keep things dry it's a good place to store other things that you don't want to rust like knives router bits elero rods and the like

I was going to make something to keep mine in about 3 years ago, but for the short term, I grabed a folder & a heep of a4 plastic sleaves. It works a treat 3 years on, & I have no plans to use a more complicated system.

The plastic containers spindles of blank cd's and dvd's come in are perfect for up to 4 1/2" disks just cut the center spindle away with a saw, they are also great for storing cutting and grinding disks for disk grinders leave the centre spindle for these
