Hi Folks and a very happy new year!
I've bought a budget disc/belt sander as I'm just an occasional but very keen woodworker and make the odd knife. I was disappointed to find that the disc part of the machine uses self-adhesive 150mm sanding pads. I was rather hoping they'd be the velcro sort as I like to step up and down the grits during a project.
Is there a way of converting this which is easier than buying a sheet of hook velcro and cutting to size? I would also be concerned about this home-made velcro disc gradually becoming detached when I replace the pads.
