Sandpaper jig for the RO 90

[Brent Taylor]

I was in the shop this morning and my hands were not wanting to work so well, so I was having trouble lining up the holes on the round pad. So I grabbed some 1/4" dowel rod and a piece of scrap square stock ( 5/8 sq. & 3 3/8" long ). Got out my "Dowel-it" tool, drilled three  1/4" holes, 1/4" deep & at 1 1/8" on center on the square stock. Then glued them in, cut the dowel to 1/2" above the square stock. Grabbed my sandpaper, stuck it over the dowel pins and stuck it into the holes in the sanding pad. Perfectly lined up quick, simple and easy. Hope it helps. B  PS I needed to make a few more.

That is quite slick, but I'm just a poor old carpenter with 2 kids in college and no cash for a 3-D printer( it would be nice though [smile]) B

You do not have to buy a 3D printer - if you read the entire thread you will see that the OP has a link for purchasing his invention at a reasonable price

I am sorry if I upset anyone, I was not trying to steal anyone's thunder. I needed to solve a personal problem due to damage and wear on my body, My though was to share with other these simple jigs. Cheap and cheerful as Peter would say. There are many ways up the mountain, the point is getting to the top, safely and without harm. B

Get to work elves

That's an elegantly simple solution, Brent.  I may have to copy it.  Thanks.

Richard, first thank you. Second, on the 3 pin piece make the center pin longer, it makes installing the paper easier. B
