  • Publication number: 20020081957
    Abstract: An adhesive-backed sandpaper disc is affixed to the side wall of a standard off-the-shelf circular saw blade having two opposed flat planar faces devoid of any recesses and surrounded by a periphery of cutting teeth. The disc is made in a generally circular shape with an abrasive affixed on one surface and a layer of adhesive provided on an opposite surface covered with a release paper to prevent contamination before use. The sandpaper disc includes a plurality of slots extending toward or to the periphery of the disc which combine with the surface of the saw blade to create recesses that permit channeling of saw dust created during cutting and sanding operations. In an alternative embodiment, the slots can spiral in an arcuate path from adjacent the center of the disc to the periphery to enhance the ability of the slots to channel saw dust radially outwardly from the disc. A plurality of holes form cylindrical recesses in conjunction with the face of the saw blade to which the disc is affixed.
