I finally broke down and bought myself a set of all the grits of the Klingspor shop roll sandpaper. We've been giving those away every Bash and jealousy overcame me. :biggrin:

I need a way to store and dispense these. They fit nicely on a 1" dowel, but I am looking for suggestions for a rack or enclosure. I thought about hanging the dowel under a shelf, but they like to unroll. I've seen a few compartmentalized plywood boxes that might work. Thought I'd see if anyone had an idea!

Mine are on a "paper towel dispenser" type thingy, right over my lathe. Convenient, but I work in an unfinished basement, so hanging is easy--pick a rafter!!
 
I to have been toying with this notion recently. I use abranet in rolls and the center is fairly large, something like 3-4" or so.

so far everything elude me as to what setup to go with.
 
I'm thinking a wall mounted box with dividers. Plexiglass doors for each compartment, with an opening at the bottom of each door for the strip to stick out of it. You can attach the blades with teeth like the packing tape rolls have, to tear your sandpaper with. A 1-1/8" hole all the way thru for the dowel rod, with a collar of some sort on each end. Label each little door with the grit number. Little knobs on the doors for ease of opening, and magnets to keep the doors closed. :biggrin:

Want me to make you one? :biggrin: Thanks Jeff, that was fun :wink::biggrin:

Turn yourself some adapters to fill in the space. They will slide into the rolls. (snug fit)

Want to design some rocket ships? :biggrin:

That's kind of what I was thinking with the compartments. There are 9 rolls so I don't think a common axle would be too convenient when I need to replace 1 roll. I use WAY more 80 grit than anything else :biggrin:

LOL.....it wouldn't get off the ground :redface:

OK...9 rolls = 3 tiers = 3 rolls of 80 grit on the bottom axle. (easiest to reach) :biggrin: Just a thought
 
How about making individual compartments that have vertical dados cut halfway down the sides. Then use a dowel ( or make a spindle) that would drop into the dados and hold the individual rolls.

Mark check the first link in my post on page two. I think we are on the same train of thought.
