Spectape ST501 Double Sided Adhesive Tape, 36 yds Length x 1" Width Paper

This double sided tape is excellent for pattern cutting as it pertains to woodworking. It's easy to work. You can tear it as easily as masking tape. It adheres and holds the pattern forms firmly. With no residue or tear-out when you pull your pattern off. Excellent product. Just be sure you have no dirt, sawdust before adhering.

I first got used to using double sided tape while working in the aviation cabinetry world. We used it constantly. Primarily for securing a straight edge while routing a detail, or fine tuning an edge as in fitting a door to fit its opening. I use it all the time for just this kind of work. It's labor saving. The adhesive sticks securely but lets go without marring wood surfaces. Just make sure you press firmly to set it in place. You can trust that it will hold temporarily, but let go.

Works well for CNC.

As another reviewer mentioned, you need to make sure both surfaces are clean and free of sawdust. Seems like a no-brainer, but that task is harder than you'd think when using this in a woodworking shop. Thats said, I gave 4 stars because the room for error is very small. It either sticks well or doesn't really stick at all (although it may fool you into thinking otherwise). There's no real in between. When you're working with a router or CNC machine, the risks of error are already high enough, so it sucks when the tape you thought was good to go detaches and your workpiece is ruined in an instant. On the other hand, I've used a few other doube-side tape options, and none are this good. This tape easily tears with your hands, so you don't have to mess around with scissors or razor blades. It creates a strong bond to a *clean* surface. The backing is easier to remove than most other tapes I've used. Finally, it removes cleanly without leaving residue or harming your workpieces. Overall, I would recommend this tape. As I mentioned, it works very well, but attention must be paid to prepping the surfaces before use.

This is the best tape I have found to hold down wood, metal or plastic for carving in CNC machines. It is very thin, easy to remove (no residue), and the liner is easy to remove as well. Other tapes can be too sticky and hard to work with. This one is just right - holds tight to the waste board, even when damaged, but then easily pried up with a putty knife. Couldn't be better.

Haven't really used it on a project yet, but I've played around with the tape and some chunks of wood and it looks like this is really work out.

Absolutely killer. Keeps wood put when you can’t make clamps work.

This two sided tape is for holding stacked pieces of wood together to make duplicates of a pattern. It does an excellent job. I have used it for making toy wooden car parts and rockers for a child's rocking horse. Just a few short pieces spaced over the length of the piece is all it takes. No shifting. Easy to remove. No residue. Won't gum up your saw.

I have tried several different brands over the years and glad I stumbled ( the a woodworking review ) this tape. I use this around the perimeter of my templates with a few strips in the field depending on how large the template and it holds with zero issues even on heavy 2" trim cuts. I use a rubber mallet to secure the two pieces together and a heavy gauge scraper to pry them apart leaving no glue residue. It's been over 6 years that I've been using this same ST501 for this application

This tape is fantastic. It's very easy to separate and it holds very well. Great for woodworkers

Worked well for taping small pieces of wood to hold stationary when sanding with an orbital sander.

I have used this tape for adhering a shop made template to my work to then route a curved corner. The tape held the template well, did not add much in the way of thickness, and then came off easily. Not much of the tape was needed. Great value.

Works great, would buy again.
