Was watching an old "What is it" segment of "Ask this old house" the other
night.

A viewer had sent in a working prototype of his idea.

A circular piece of wood 1/2"-3/4" thick with a group of 3/8" dowel pins
projecting about 1/2" from a flat face.

The dowels were arranged in a geometric pattern that just happened to
match the dust pick up holes of his ROS.

Application:

Place sandpaper *on gadget aligning holes with dowels, then align dowels
with holes on ROS and seat paper.

Neat idea IMHO.

I never found it hard or necessary to align the holes that precicely.





*Haughty sniff*.. well.. *I* use Mirka Abranet sandpaper/screens so it
is never an issue.

BTW.. once you get hooked (no pun intended) on Abranet, you will never
use sand'paper' again. It costs a little more, but the results are
superior and the stuff lasts a long time. I did a study, it is
actually cheaper in the long run. A perfect mate to Festool sanders.
