Dusty:

Thanks for your generosity in sharing the information about your mounting racks. I am headed to the shop to get to work on building them!

You are most welcome.

Assembly is pretty much straight forward EXCEPT for the front panels that hold the conical disks. Pre-fit those before you permanently attach to the wedges.

BTW: I wish I had made mine to facilitate more disks than I have.

When I built my workbench along a wall I added some built drawers below it. I made a wide but shallow drawer so I could lay my sanding disks and saw blades flat in the drawer. I also lay my paper sanding disks on the bottom of the drawer, putting the metal sanding disks on top of them, keeping them flat.

Great idea but I have used up all my floor space, that is why I need this to be a cabinet. But I guess I could incorporate a drawer in the cabinet.

I was hoping for a cheaper method, cost of drawer slides and all.

Dusty's looks good but I don't have the room and I'm afraid of dust/dirt problems with the blades exposed.

Ed- this is what I use. I keep the extra sandpaper on top of the associated disk (velcro, PSA, conical). Hope I attached the picture correctly!

Dusty, thanks for your dimensions. As you can tell from the attached photo, I made some mistakes in building the saw blade rack, but I was in a hurry to get it up. With the saw rack, pegboard, and the under-counter storage area for the 510, I am in much better shape than a week ago.

It looks great and is certainly doing what it was built to do. What we can see of your shop looks great and certainly well organized.

I made two storage items like Dusty's and I find that a quick pass with the dust collector cleans out the compartment just fine. Not a burden.

I see some minor design changes but I don't see any mistakes. I am pleased to see that my approach to this task has been helpful.
