I have a bit of a problem which I haven't found a very safe solution to. I'm hoping some seasoned veterans can offer some suggestions.
I purchase brass rings generally 100 at a time in a standard thickness to keep costs reasonable. The thickness is .064", I need a finished thickness of .059" for my purpose. Right now I am using a belt sander but haven't found a predictably safe manner in which to hold the pieces. Right now I am stacking them on a round tubular piece, sanding a bit and then check with my go - no/go gauge. The problem is if I don't maintain constant pressure the rings will take off with some force and end up across the room.
I am including some images to help illustrate the situation.
