Another use for the (tiny) screwdriver - works well if it is the
traditional shape - do the whole batch of disks and be done with it
till you buy another batch.

Upthread, I mentioned that I normally have multiple arbors
with discs attached so that I can swap discs quickly
when I'm in the middle of a project. That works a treat!

This Just In! I used a loose drill chuck just now as
a pin vise to grasp the head of the arbor screw.

Now I can thread the cutting discs on to the screw
quickly and easily.

That made my day!

I tend to load my discs by laying them on a chunk of wood that has a
small hole in it. Set disc over hole, push screw through slide arbor up
through hole from other side to catch screw and tighten down a bit.

I also have saw blades, diamond wheels and sanding discs all loaded up
as well.When I buy new stuff I usually buy kits so I get some extra
arbors for buffing/sanding drums/wheels.
One thing I have found with the cutting discs is that if you install a
small O-ring or rubber washer on each side they don't break as easily.
I have a couple of spark wheels from disposable lighters mounted on
mandrels (make certail to get the solid not the spiral wound ones, and
use the O ring from the jet for centering) to use as rotary files.
