Learned something the other day, might not be new so.
I used to cut sandpaper for my lap disks out with sissors, but a fellow knifemaker (Brian Lyttle) showed me a easier trick.
You have probably used some af the dividers they use in sheetmetal work before, and they are made out of good quality steel. I just went heat treated one side, sharpened it and it works like a charm cutting out circles of sandpaper in any size.
