I have never used or touched PSA backed sandpaper. Never really gave it a thought until I saw the Lee Valley Shooting Sander (http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=71428&cat=51&ap=1)
Then, I started thinking about PSA backed sandpaper. Well, obviously, this will stick to like anything right? Then I saw a coment with the Stikit Sandpaper that says "Replacement Pads are available for older Porter Cable sanders to allow the use of the Stikit abrasive system"
http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2000277/3362/Stikit-Sandpaper-120-Grit.aspx
OK, so PSA may not stick to just anything....
There have been times when I thought that it would be useful to be able to just slap some sand paper onto my cast iron table saw top, a piece of granite, or even a piece of wood (like a shop made sanding block or cheater version of the Veritas Sanding Shooter). I don't really want to drop $20 on a roll of sand paper and find it does not stick to stuff.
I see the Stikit brand, which I think is made by 3M. I see that Amazon sells Porter Cable stuff labeled as Adhesive Backed Sanding Roll (http://www.amazon.com/PORTER-CABLE-740001201-2-Inch-Adhesive-Backed-Sanding/dp/B0000223SK) no idea if there is a difference between Adhesive-Backed and PSA. Unsure of the best place to purchase or the brand that I want.
Would use mostly for wood, but, might consider it for lapping metal or similar.
Teach me, please. Do not assume that your seemingly useless comment is something that I already know.
