Abstract
An improved sandpaper cutting guide is disclosed having a series of recesses to receive different sized pieces of sandpaper. The longer side of a standard sized sheet of sandpaper is placed in one of the slots for cutting the sheet in half or the end of the standard sized sheet may be placed in another slot for cutting a one-third sheet piece. A cutting tool is inserted through a slit in the guide and drawn across the guide to cut a selected one of several smaller, also standard, piece sizes from the sheet. The same slit guides the cutting tool for all sizes with size being determined by the recess into which the sheet is placed. Access openings are provided to aid in removal of the cut piece from the guide. Preferably, recesses are provided for cutting the standard sized sheet into halves, thirds, quarters or sixths.

An abrasive sheet cutting guide assembly comprising, a rectangular base member having a rectangular recess contiguous with a side of the base, said recess having a size for receiving at least a portion of a sheet of abrasive material, a cover attached to said base member to partially cover said recess, and said cover having a slit parallel to an inner edge of said recess for guiding a cutter while cutting said sheet.
A sandpaper cutting guide comprising, a relatively flat, generally rectangular body having a series of relatively thin generally rectangular pockets, each with an elongated narrow opening along an edge of the guide for receiving a sheet of sandpaper, a generally linear slit in one face of the body for receiving and guiding a cutting edge, the slit extending along the body generally parallel to an edge of the body and into the body a distance sufficient to communicate with each of the pockets, whereby a sheet of sandpaper may be inserted into one of the narrow openings and seated within a pocket, and a cutting edge may be inserted fully into the slit near one end thereof and drawn along the slit to the other end thereof thereby severing the sheet of sandpaper within any one of the pockets.
