doing you all a favor - Cutoff Wheels

www.lehighvalleyabrasives.com/

I was reading through a few threads on here and a few times the question of where to buy cut off wheels came up. The link above is for lehigh valley abrasives. everything they sell is very high quality, their cut off wheels are the best ones Ive ever used, they last a long time and cut very well. their flap disks are better than the Dewalt ones I've bought from Lowes, and they are 2$ compared to 8-9 for the Lowes version. seriously order from these guys, great price and the quality is awesome.

the flap discs are about the same price through roark but the cut offs are a little more expensive. the roark cut offs were 1.89 vs 99c for lehigh, either one is still better than my local hardware store at almost 3$ for a disk that I don't feel is as good. And Im not so loyal to pirate that ill buy stuff solely on the fact that they bk they are a pirate vendor. good links though.

..Definitely not a pirate pusher here..

..But I always like to have an alternative..I heard about them when another inexpensive vendor was out of product and I couldn't wait...Plus they have good sale items..

thank god man, pirate pisses me off about 87% of the time, bunch of porn addicts and know it alls over there.

good call on having alternative vendors, I didn't even check out the sale section, and ive had backordered orders from lehigh before.

I use enco for sanding disks, bandsaw blades and drill bits. I like that they usually have the option of import or US made choices.

Hey Guys, its Tom @ Roark Supply. My webguy was telling me that we kept getting traffic from a place called Explorer Forum. He is not an offroader and thought it might be spam, lol.

Anyway, I found this thread and figured i would post up because we just signed up as a Vendor today.

Tbars and DB_1 - Thanks for posting up our link, Yes we were out at KOH the last 3 years as a vendor. Great place but a little dusty!

Tom

I actually bought a bunch of 2" flap discs from Tom last off road show. Really nice guy, gave me a great deal I'll defiantly go back and buy more from him in the future.
