Well, heres another trick that has served me well.\u00a0 Im in the midst of making a stainless steel manly man link bracelet that requires a TON of edge clean up.\u00a0 Since the clean up is pretty important and the stainless chews thru any abrasive material like theres no tomorrow, this is how I keep things sanely inexpensive, all things considered.<\/p>\n

Start by getting some 1″ masking tape, and cut your abrasive sand paper into strips of your preferred width.\u00a0 here, I have cut 3\/4″ wide strips (19mm for the rest of the world) by 4.5″ long (115mm)<\/p>\n

.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stick the tape under your bench and start applying the strips only half way on the tape.\u00a0 Once you have enough…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Take that tape with the sandpaper strips and stick it on the front side of the bench, progress to cut thru the tape with a razor or some other impliment of destruction, at the very least score the tape, this makes it easy to remove and go to the next step…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you need a new roll, grab a piece of abrasive, put it on a blank mandrel, at the edge here, using the side with the tape, not the non-taped side…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fold the tape onto the other side of the abrasive…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Slowly wind the abrasive on itself….viola’ you have got a nifty sanding roll.\u00a0 As the abrasive wears out, just tear off what is worn…when you get to the end, rip off the left over abrasive and tape, grab another one and start all over again.<\/p>\n

Yep, niiiice & easy…the nice thing about this, the abrasive doesnt fall off the mandrel like the ones that are just held in with a slot, the easy thing about this…well its easy and adapatable to the sandpaper stash that you have.<\/p>\n
