Dispenser This dispenser is a nifty way to hold rolls of sandpaper. Plus, it makes it easy to pull out just the right amount of sandpaper and tear off a piece. Each dispenser consists of a short length of 4" PVC pipe and a cutoff hacksaw blade, as in Fig. 1. The sandpaper feeds out through a slot in the pipe. The easiest way I found to cut this slot is to use a ¼" straight bit in a table-mounted router. To prevent the pipe from rotating during the cut, clamp a scrap of wood to each end, like you see in Fig. 2. It's best to cut through the pipe in several passes. |
