Topic tags/keywords: question sanding storage of sanding paper performax v-drum sander drum sander Anyone who has a drum sander (Performax, Jet, V-Drum, etc.) has long strips of sandpaper in various grits. Mine are 6+’ in length by 3” wide. I am looking for a good way to store the strips and the rolls I cut them from. Currently, I roll them up and use rubber bands. Then I throw them into a cardboard box. Has anyone come up with a better way? -- Jesse, Saint Louis, Missouri |

Jesse That’s pretty much what I do with my rolls but I keep them in a drawer in my cabinet. Some have made a box with cubbies that attach in the legs. I was going to do that but it’s just another place for saw dust to collect. You could put a cover over it I suppose but I think the cardboard box is the better way to go. I’ve found that I only use a few grits and I can usually get a lot of life out of my belts so I don’t change them often and I clean them after every use and I always scrape glue joints before I sand the wood which glue is the worst thing for the sanding belts. -- www.thepatriotwoodworker.com Proud Supporter of Homes For Our Troops |

I buy mine in the large rolls and store them on a 3 ft length of PVC pipe underneath a wall hanging cabinet in my shop. When I need to cut a new piece I roll out a length straight on to my worktable and use the previous piece as a template. Works great… When I cut extras I wrap them with a rubberband and store them in the cabinet under my drum sander. -- Every step of any project should be considered your masterpiece if you want the finished product to reflect the quality of your work. http://www.FineArtBoxes.com |
