Woodturning WAD Punch. CUT your own sanding discs! GAME changer!

[@wantlessobject]

That's a great idea. I make my pads myself also. But I use scissors. It's a pain in the butt. Now I'm giving this a try. Thanks for sharing Kez!

[@KerryCorney]

: My pleasure, mate. I'm really glad it can help. I used scissors for a bit until I saw these at the club. But then I saw Glenn Lucas's punches and wished I had bought those instead. Hope your staying warm brother, Cheers, kezza

Super helpful and Brother, you know I crack up at those whip sounds!

[@KerryCorney]

Thanks, mate! I giggle every time I make a mistake now, knowing that, haha. The funny thing is, I used to fix my mistakes like this, but now it's nice to find some humor in them. Cheers, brother!

Hi KC... I caught the second video first..lol... Yes there's loads of prep work for a one man show...it can be tedious but its also essential for quality products...you always offer multiple choices in tools and techniques..and I believe that's important..otherwise we would all be right-handed..😁... Thank you for sharing your knowledge and journey...🌿🌿🌿

[@KerryCorney]

Plenty of prep work. It can get a bit full-on sometimes. I think it's crucial to suggest multiple ways of doing things because everyone has a different budget and access to products. My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Pam. Kezza

I've made wad punches from old hole saws. I grind off the teeth and sharpen the edge at about 40 degrees. I have also threaded and welded a bolt into the hole saw where it fits the mandrel. Works a charm....saves a lot of money.

[@KerryCorney]

Mate that is brilliant. Sounds like it would work a treat. Thanks for sharing that mate. Cheers, Kez

[@DropbearWoodworks]

Ok I’m convinced now. Lol. I need me a wad puncher

[@KerryCorney]

For sure mate, self-sufficient and saving some coin as well 👌🤟

[@dtork47]

Rey helpful Kerry, thanks. Hope you are better today? All the best.

[@KerryCorney]

It's such a brilliant way of saving money and cutting your own discs. Thanks very much, mate. I’ll post an update soon.

[@jennybarnes4806]

Thanks Kerry, purchased a wad punch quite a while ago now for myself. Went to purchase another for my teacher and couldn’t find one anywhere in Oz. Will look at the Glenn Lucus ones now.

[@KerryCorney]

No dramas, mate. I'm really glad it helped. I don't think you could go wrong with Mr. Lucas' tools. He uses them on a regular basis and punches thousands of discs with them. I'm upset I didn't see them first. Cheers, mate.

[@exi1e]

Never thought of that. Gives me an idea. Going to try and cut mine with my laser 👍 cheers

[@KerryCorney]

That sounds fancy. Would it burn the paper though? Cheers mate. Thank you for the comment.

[@exi1e]

@@KerryCorney Shouldnt as I can adjust the power level 👍

[@KerryCorney]

@@exi1e Thats awesome. Let us know how you go, mate. You might be onto something there,

[@Chipswoodworking]

I never thought about cutting down the sandpaper. I just use the large circles till they are no longer usable haha. this could be a game changer

[@KerryCorney]

For sure, a game changer, mate. Look up those Glenn Lucas ones though; that would be my recommendation. Cheers, mate. Kez.

[@Chipswoodworking]

​@@KerryCorney Yeah i took a look at those ones i think from the link in the video. Added that to the wish list of things i need to acquire.

[@aarondsalberg]

Good info!

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you Aaron. I am really glad it helped. Cheers mate, Kez

[@timofeyzhukov-khovanskiy9173]

I looked up clingspor rolls of 4.5"x10m hook and loop paper, for 2" disks you can get 4x making your own.

[@KerryCorney]

I believe there an Australian company too! 😎😏might have to reach out to them.

[@davidcrandell1172]

Thumbs from me mate. thanks

[@KerryCorney]

Thank you legend, means a lot. Cheers, Kez

[@FixitFingers]

What's your cost saving of say buying a pack of 2" discs vs making the same number?

[@KerryCorney]

Hey mate, on average, I can personally save around $86.94 per order (sorry mate, that was some late-night math). The amount saved depends on factors such as product quality, supplier choices, and order quantity (that's been my experience). It takes a bit of time to find reliable suppliers, but once I find a top-notch one, I'll do my best to negotiate a discount for the team👌 Cheers, mate! Kez
