Cutting hook and loop sandpaper for multi-tool

Dec 04, 2011 4 Replies

The precut pieces for my Dremel multi-tool are insanely priced. What are people using to cut their own? Kitchen shears?



TIA


I think any kind of scissors will work. As a bonus, cutting sandpaper with scissors is a short-hand way of sharpening the scissors!

I use scissors. And for the sandpaper, I use 6" hook & loop disks without holes. I get efficient use when making either the 'large' or the 'small' pads (I have a HF machine).

To help get the sizes right, I cut templates out of hardboard and then use a shop pencil to trace the shape followed by a scissors to cut them out.
