Sand Paper Cutter

Karson, That looks like a brand new hacksaw blade. Is that really necessary, or will a used on work? I’m glad you posted a proper sandpaper cutter. I might have made mine cut 5/8 sheets, where could I use them ;-))

My Grandpa was from near the Mason-Dixon line. He used to tell a story about a young girl working in a general store when toilet paper first came out. The owner told the girl to try to sell another item if they didn’t have exactly what the customer wanted. (I’ll bet you can see where this is going;-) ) A customer asked for toilet paper, the girl said we aaare out of toilet paper, but we have sandpaper.

Karson, that’s a great idea! Funny story TopamaxSurvivor.

Thanks for the reminder Karson. We should all have one and it is the simplest jig to make. But for some reason I keep putting it off. I have to make one this week…......................................LOL

that’s a nice step up from what I’m using. I may have to upgrade!
thanks Karson.

I used Karson’s at the sanding block workshop… and I had seen the idea elsewhere. I made mine up just after I got home (and after my nap…) Anyway, I used a smaller board since my shop is much smaller than Karson’s!

But what you might try… I slipped a washer between the wood and the blade to raise the blade just a touch so the heavier 60 grit paper slips under the blade easier… it doesn’t effect performance of cutting… and a finer tooth blade works better than coarse.

This made the Mrs happy since I no longer try to use her rather expensive art framing mat cutting tool to cut sandpaper!

Al Thanks for the tip on the washer. I hadn’t thought of that. Great idea.

So, when are you marketing the Karson Kutter?

Karson, I swear you have been peeking thru the window of my shop!

As I said before great minds think alike!

Who says that I cannot be swayed by the constructive comments on my sandpaper cutter.

It is now revised and Vs 1.1 it has a copper washer under the blade.

TopamaxSurvivor I guess you could use an old blade, but I always seem to throw the old one away. Silly me for not saving a couple. And I think I bought some Toli.. er sandpaper from her last week at the local Lowes.

Can I borrow that for a while? I like it!

Hi Karson,

Karson you have made a very simple tool costing hardly anything, for cutting a sand paper. I liked your acceptance of the idea of putting a washer as suggested by Dustyal and immediately implementing it. Your greatness is seen in this simple gesture.
