Default scotchbrite

Where is the best place online to buy scotchbrite pads and small scotchbrite deburring wheels for die grinders? I searched aircraft spruce for "Scotchbright" and "Scotchbrite", but nothing came up.

Default found it

Think I found a good source... http://www.aircraft-tool.com/

Question: my new die grinder is 1/4". Will this work with smaller size wheels, such as 3/16" ?

I have to admit, I never use their website. I have their catalog in PDF and just send an email to Sandra. A few days later it turns up!!

Big portions of Avery's website have been broken since last year. I'm guessing they are broken for good. Luckily most of their online store works if you go straight to http://cart.averytools.com. Or pick up the phone, they are nice folks.

Hi,
I just picked up some Scotchbrite pads at Spruce in Peachtree City, Ga. today. The part number is 09-01414. There are several different pads available.

Sam's club for the pads, Ebay for the wheel. Bought two 10" bear-tex by Norton for $20 ---a no nonsense wheel.
