very well made little accessory, looks nice but.... folks are talking about $75, which seems ok because of how the tool is made. I don't see it as that practical. size is 215mm x 60mm or 8 1/2" by 2 3/8", an ok size but standard rolls are 2" or 3", pre-cut strips 2 3/4" wide. 8 1/2" length is ok, but for $75 you can get a big Norton JUM3 which is 11 1/2" x 2 1/2".
I have been using a homemade that does the same job for years. I used 4 3/4" wide heavy duty clipboard clips mounted 10" apart on a piece of steel. the steel is flat or you can place rubber or foam under the paper. works ok, but sandpaper doesn't last long. I use 240, 320, 400, & 600 grit SiC paper, but even wet after 8 to 10 passes, I need to replace the paper.
Stupid uninformed me, I commented I get the same result with a basic clipboard and a thumbtack or use some PSA paper on a piece of steel or granite.
