    Default cutting sandpaper discs

    i was getting realy frustrated cutting those little circles to fit the sanding attachment on my drill. it amased me how hard it was to cut a even circle.

    i have found a peice of pipe the right size and sharpend the edges now i simply punch the peices out of a sheet.

    Go to you local Exhaust place, and ask for an offcut, should get one for free. sharpen on end. Bingo
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Where can one get such (velcro backed) sandpaper in sheets for cutting out to size???

    Would have do be an online source seeing as where I'm at there ain't no other woodturners - a result of which there's no woodturning supplies for a few thousand k's - other than trees.
    Cheers,
    Andy

    WB, I have mentioned it before too. (with pics too, somewhere) I use a round metal fence post cap. You can get them from fencing supply places.
    I drilled a hole in the centre so I can screw it to a handle to twirl it against the grinder to sharpen the edge.
    I take the handle off before I use it & if the disk gets stuck inside the cap, I can push it out with bit of wire or a mail through the hole.

    I get big round ones from a tool shop.
    They are meant to go on those big bench mount sanders.
    I hack them up to make the small disks.
    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.
