Popular Post Wichman3 Posted January 5, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted January 5, 2020 I wanted a bench mounted tape dispenser for packing tape. While working on some compound ornament I needed to be able to hold the piece with one hand and tear off short strips of tape with the other. At work we have a bench tape dispenser, but it moves around a lot when in use. U-line has a bench mount dispenser with a c-clamp, it's about $25 with shipping, and I'd have to wait to get it. So, I got a tape gun (Walmart) for $11 (the handle was bolted onto the frame) I removed the handle and clamped it to the workbench next to the saw. Works like a charm.

Smallpatch Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 That looks real handy but how do you keep the dust off...I had to build a box with a lid to keep them clean before use. FlGatorwood and Gunny 2 Quote

When working with the compound cuts I'm using the tape quite a bit, so the tape isn't exposed for very long. 3. When I'm not using the tape I unclamp the vice grips and move the dispenser to another location. p_toad, Artie, FlGatorwood and 1 other 4 Quote
