you know, those cylinders made from sheets of sand paper, like this:


looking for small ones, 25 - 30 mm diameter.

there is a few on ebay but postage is stupid so maybe you know somewhere cheaper?

NOTE - do not confuse with buffing wheels that are made from abrasive sponge as opposed to sanding paper.

Cheap? How about an old bolt, hacksaw slot in head, stick emery cloth into slot. Voila.

I found that they were quite cheap in Wilkinsons not sure on sizes though
