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.

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.

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.

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.

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>

Jewelcome.
