Any tape dispenser ideas?

Sounds fun. I like stuff like that.

If your shop is, or can be, a dusty place, I’m wondering if the tape segment spanning the roll to the cutter would get contaminated and not stick well. Just a thought.

Also, I see different size IDs on my rolls of tape. How would you accommodate that if it were true for yours? Now I’m asking you to solve my dilemma! : )

Kindly,

You might swipe some ideas from this.
It loads from the top, comes out the bottom. Pull out what you need, tear it off. It uses a hacksaw blade for the cutter.

Here you go….. I hope this helps.
