Dave Monk Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 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. jollyred, OCtoolguy, Wichman and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 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.

Wichman Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 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.

TAIrving Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 I use an old scrap of wood, approximately 10" x 2" x 1/2" and glue sandpaper to both sides. OCtoolguy and Dave Monk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry walters Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 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. Jerry OCtoolguy and Dave Monk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
