Does anyone have another source for soft steel carding wheels other than Brownell's? They are out of both the 2 and 4 row, and have been for a while it seems. Anywhere else to look for one? I'm not coming up with anything.

I can keep going with doing it by hand all the time, but there's some growing joint discomfort, and since I have a Baldor pedestal polisher on hand, why not use it?

Thanks.

Shipping costs may be a problem but here's where I get mine from. May be worth an email to find out costs if you can't source any in the states.
May also be worth a Google search for vertex carding wheels ?
Good luck.

Searched. Just in the UK it seems. Found some wire wheels at MSC here, but they're twisted strands and aggressive. The soft and fine Brownell's model is what I'm wanting to find.

Yes! But out of stock. I imagine that these are the same as Brownell's, which are out of stock. Whoever makes them needs to get busy and do that.

I have had one back-ordered from OttoFrei.com since December, with still no word as to when it might ship. My current wheel is worn to a nub. I agree that the manufacturer needs to crank out a batch.

Here's one source. There's plenty of others out there. Easy to find, they're made by Grobet in a wide variety of sizes and types, and sold by several firms.

Thank you. Easy if you've found your source. I've searched with logical terminology, and never happened upon this seller. I'm sure others appreciate your source, as I'm not the only one looking.

Changed my search criteria to what Dany Tools calls them and found this one:

The real problem with using wheels is that if you don't have the ability to run them in both directions they fray and bend out of shape rapidly. That and it's very helpful to have the ability to run them at various speeds. I've gone to mounting them on a VSR drill. I also dress the wheels with a file card. They last much longer that way.
