Sanding Solution.

[Dave Monk]

Why didn't I think of this sooner. 

I sand a lot of small parts and it has always been a pain trying to hold them in place.  Today a lightbulb turned on. Hard to believe with this old brain.  I took a piece of 1/2" plywood and put shelf paper on it. I then used spay glue on the back of a sheet of 120 grit sandpaper and stuck it to it. Worked great! I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with this solution but I thought I might share it.

Yea been doing that for years. I use a piece of marble tile I bought from Home Depot because it is a smooth surface and no grain. Some people use a piece of glass. Just spray back of sandpaper and stick to surface. Works well and many times I need to do a wet sanding for some pens and with the tile again no problem.

I have two 10" steel sanding disks ( for the table saw ) and I can put different grits on each side, so up to 4 different grits.

I removed the platen for a 6 inch disk sander and have several different grits of PSA disks, I have drilled a hole in my workbench ( next to the scroll saw ) that the platen will fit in so that the workbench supports the platen.

I use an old scrap of wood, approximately 10" x 2" x 1/2" and glue sandpaper to both sides.

I use a piece of Corian that was cut out of our counter for the sink.

OK, Dave, the old brain still works!

Boy, what good ideas from all.  Sometimes it's the simplist things.  It seems we try to make things to difficult.  Thanks to all for the ideas.

Really slow though.
