As for upgrading your sandpaper, the Gator Ultra l}ower Premium Series with Black Zirconium, from Ali Industries, uses the same zirconium oxide that is known at the jewelry store as cubic zirconium — almost a diamond. It makes these sandpapers, designed for use 011 power sanders, sharper and harder than aluminum oxide grits, to cut faster and hold the cutting edge longer. They're also constructed with heavyweight paper for discs and sheets, heavy-duty cloth for the belts, and top-of-the-line phenolic resins as the glues. A special no-load coating on the discs and Carter Products' AccuRight1" Circle Cutter sheets reduces material loading so you don't have to change paper as often. The Ultra Power series comes in various configurations; pricing 011 packs for 5" random-orbit sanders, for example, starts at a four-pack for $4.99. Another enhancement for your woodworking is the AccuRight™ Circle Cutter from Carter Products, an attachment to your hand saw that will cut perfect circles in any diameter up to 48" — although you may have to use some additional support, like a rolling stand, for those big ones. The Circle Cutter ships with a universal bracket that fits most band saws on today's market and works with all blade guides, full-block or bearing, except for the Carter StabilizerYou can add the Circle Cutter to your band saw with 110 drilling or external mounts. It's priced at $64.99. While it might not make your shop look perfect, the Solematte Adhesive Floor Mat sold through Rockier Woodworking and Hardware can certainly contribute to keeping the rest of your home clean. The Solematte comes as a stack of 30 sheets measuring 24" x 36". They stick to the floor, and, after a protective film is removed, also have an adhesive side that lets the sawdust from your shoes stick to the Solematte — not wherever you walk next. Step down a couple of times, similar to stomping snow from your boots, to help the crud collection do its job. When stuff stops sticking, tear off the top sheet and use tin-next one in the stack. The old one, by the way, can be recycled like your household paper. Each stack of 30 sheets costs $19.99. What have you been using to make all that sawdust? Possibly a table saw?
