Suggestions welcome
*Excellent! Very concise and clear.
*Maybe not relevant to Wiki but connected to the pierced sheets for
dust *extraction....
*My 1/2 sheet sander came supplied with a gizmo to create replacement
pierced sheets from *shag rolls*. The supplier has since gone out of
business but, in view of the financial saving, I wonder if these
gadgets *are available and worth a mention?

I have a gadget called a pencil - I poke it through the paper where the
holes are ;-) Seems to do the trick.

:-)

To think of all the trouble they took to manufacture a folding,
multi-piercing punch....

Of course, your pencil does not measure and provide a serrated edge to
tear off the correct length, or does it?

Actually it is a bit of a fiddle as, having torn off the correct length
and punched the first set of holes, you have to rotate the sheet and
punch a second set.

both added, cheers
