Bombarde16 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Not rocket science, and undoubtedly old news for at least half the forum. But in cleaning house today, this was a big improvement on keeping track of my sandpaper collection. So, how does everyone else keep track of their grits?

Brian VanVreede Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 A big mess of half used papers that I should have thrown away when I put them down the first time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckkisser Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 in my mobile tool chest i have them in a accordion folder but i have hanging on the wall a box with narrow shelves that i store my random small pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapid Roger Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 They are in a tool box drawer with the emery cloth, steel wool, scotch brite pads and sanding blocks of various sizes and designs.The search for the right grit is half the fun of sanding.

Godet Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have a similar system for full sheets--a stacked-paper organizer designed for a desk. However, with only 4 slots, its inadequate. For ROS sandpaper, I have an old 3x5 floppy disk (that's right, floppy disk) file cabinet that works beautifully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CessnaPilotBarry Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Boxed ROS discs are in rollaway drawers with the sanders. Sheets are stacked in a drawer with all the blocks, tadpoles, etc... separated with 1/8" hardboard dividers. The dividers add weight to keep them flat. I rarely need one disc or sheet, so I pull out the range of boxes I need, or the stack, complete my work, and put the rest back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CessnaPilotBarry Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have to ask: tadpoles? Those funny shaped sanding aids... I have about 15 of them, in various hollows, rounds, and angles. They're very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMarcel Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I've always called them tadpoles and have heard many others call them the same. Figure of speech; don't expect them to grow into a plane iron holder or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
