SANDPAPER OR EMERY PAPER SUPPLY AND CUTTING CONTAINER

摘要

The professional or do-it-yourself person, i.e. woodworker or metalworker, while working on wood and/or metal projects, has a handy tool for cutting production sandpaper and emery paper, supplied commercially in sheets of approximately nine by eleven inches, and for storing both new sandpaper sheets and still usable used sandpaper sheets or emery sheets, keeping them in s ready supply of flattened sandpaper or emery sheets, avoiding any curling of the new or used sandpaper or emery sheets. This tool ie a container having a top and bottom with a 180 degree opening hinge along one common side, with all the other common sides, when closed, contacting one another, to complete the full enclosure of this tool for the convenient carrying and storing thereof, while keeping the sandpaper and/or emery paper flattened. Preferably, the bottom interior is sited to hold a useful number of new nine by eleven inch production sandpaper sheets or emery paper sheets, and the top interior is sued to hold at least one nine by eleven inch production sandpaper sheet or emery sheet atop a grid configuration. If the woodworker desires to cut a nine by eleven inch production sandpaper sheet or emery sheet into smaller pieces, then he or she places this sheet over the grid configuration having parallel grooves or kerfs in twosets, with one set being perpendicular to the other set. Then using the pointed end of a nail, he or she depresses the sandpaper or emery paper sufficiently down into the groove or kerf to start a cut or complete a cut down through the sandpaper or emery paper. Other partial or complete cuts are made to size the smaller piece or pieces of sandpaper or emery paper. Partial cats are completed by tearing apart the sandpaper or emery paper portions on either Bide of this partial cut formed along a groove or kerf.
