Alternate source for 2" roloc foam interface pads?

[Roger Wiegand]

I'm thoroughly addicted to this quick change sanding system from Woodturnerswonders. They are out of stock on the 2" pads and don't respond to emails or phone calls about when they might have them again. I've been completely unsuccessful at finding an alternate source and the ones I have aren't holding onto disks anymore. Anyone happen to know another place to get these roloc quick change velcro pads?

You can replace the velcro and extend their life. Vince's has either discs or sheets of velcro, and you can get a wide variety in rolls and strips at big box stores.

Well, Roloc is a 3M trademark brand so a quick search brings up a couple options such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Finesse-Roloc-Finishing-Disc-Pad/dp/B00AW153QI?th=1

Yeah, I was also looking a while ago and also could only find these 3" ones.

Vinces woodnwonders https://vinceswoodnwonders.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopAaiqPKI1frBadZRMZ8xuVB_Ju0meFHue-HYwbdn06SDsr should have them and he offers choices of consistency.

I buy most of my sanding disks from Vince's but I can't find these on his site. If they are there and I've missed them I'd really appreciate a link!

WTW has 3" ones at a fraction of the price at the moment, I just ordered a bunch of them. What I need are the 2" ones. I suppose cutting them down is a possibility, but that doesn't sound like much fun. The 3M branded ones seem to be from their marine division and marketed to boat people, so they carry the multiplier that gets tacked on to any product with a picture of a boat on the packaging ;-)

Your link allowed me to find that a product like what I want does actually exist (hook and loop vs PSA)-- https://www.rshughes.com/p/3M-Hooki...Spmz-okTCUFoYVSJr9kUUks-vv25no1OAv8ly0QDLJcXN Thank you! Now there's just the $15 each problem...

Understood. And then you'll have $14.95 shipping and sales tax.

I do really want to stick with hook and loop disks rather than converting over to PSA.

I ordered the super pack from Woodturners Wonders both 2 and 3 “ a few weeks ago but they are currently out of stock.
I have replaced the hook and loop on some of the 2” in the past, really easy to do. I think Craft Supplies has the 2” replacement hook and loop.
Just put your drill chuck in the headstock, hook and loop on the mandrel in the chuck and use the skew to cut them right off, stick the new hook and loop on. The ones I used already had an adhesive backing on the hook and loop replacements.
