Several years ago I bought some 2" sanding disks with a semi-flexible
plastic back. These snap onto a mandrel with a 1/4 turn. They last
nearly forever but I need some more. I got some 36 and 50 grit for
hogging off small areas. Now I can't find them any more. Any ideas
for a source. I tried my usual sources (Lee Valley, Klingspor,
Packard, Woodcraft) with no luck.
Picture on ABPW. Any help appreciated.

They won't fit my mandrel. Guess I bought the last ones ever made
like mine. Time to start over with another brand.
Thanks.

Oh - don't apologize. My reply might be considered to have been snippy. I
get the reluctance to submit to google's big brother effect. I did find a
ton of stuff when I looked, after seeing your post so I was surprised that
you hadn't. But - I didn't realize your preference for avoiding google.

Enco has ROLOC quick-change surface conditioner pads, too.
ROLOC is the key word, right, Gerry?

Smart man. When the time came, he updated to the inexpensive but
efficient current tech...and sold his -rare- mandrel to the highest
bidder on eBay. <chortle>

Almost identical, but they only go down to 60 grit. I have 60 grit
hook and loop. Seldom need the 36 grit but it is handy on occasion.

Sorry brother for the snippy reply. I did NOT use Google but I used
Ask.com, which is very similar to Google without the big brother
effect. I learned that RoLoc is a brand, as is Power-Loc, neither is
the same. I didn't know the brand name as there is no marking on the
disks or the mandrel. I looked under mechanical attachment, etc, and
you are right, there is a ton of stuff out there. After an hour I
decided to see if anyone out there had used the same one I had.

Saw no post from you on ABPW. That said - have you even looked at google?
Good lord a quick search turned up a ton of responses. Maybe not all of
them are what you are looking for, but have you even looked before posting
this question? It appears not.
