3M roloc discs

I was wondering if anyone has found somewhere online where you can buy 3M 3" rolloc discs at a semi-reasonable price. My local shop seems to be super expensive on everything, and while I'm grateful they exist, they've taken enough of my money over the years....

Thanks.

Re: 3M roloc discs

I've been ordering my abrasives from Benchmark Abrasives. I think they are based out of AZ.

I've ordered via ebay and Amazon but I think you can order directly from their website.

Anyways, the per unit price is way lower than any local retailer near me.

Lehigh valley abrasives. I have good luck with their ceramic discs. I prefer 2":

Re: 3M roloc discs

I see your point & agree to some extent. I operate a small shop & rely on local business. The parts houses I use are large corporations. They do put money into the community & provide employment BUT, I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars with them over the years yet I can go on Amazon & get the same part for $50, sometimes $100 less. I'm nobody to Amazon but I feel the companies I've built a working relationship with are gouging me. The road goes both ways.

Re: 3M roloc discs

Understood. In today's world everyone needs to watch expenses. Both sides need more communication but everyone is to busy anymore to have discussions to better each other.
Open houses and customer appreciation events are even getting to be a thing of the past. I'm guilty of that myself.
