SANDPAPER TEARING BLADE

Cutting sandpaper will dull scissors and utility knife blades in no time. Here’s a better technique: Fasten a hacksaw blade to the edge of your workbench. Slip a washer behind the blade at each of the mounting holes so a sheet of sandpaper can easily slide in behind the blade. I fold the paper to the finished size I want, then cut along the fold.
