Looking for air angle discs

I keep seeing these on the motorcycle shows. They use an air powered "angle grinder" with small diameter metal sanding discs. I got the grinder but I'm having trouble finding the discs. Any good ideas where to find them?

OneBang; i've seen them at many welder supply stores. I don't have one but they sure look handy for building projects. OneBang like a thumper? I have a 61 Matchless 600 thumper.

I use the Roloc discs for my angle grinder. They are pretty slick, you can get the mandrel and the discs on Ebay or at the swap meets. They have all kinds of them from sandpaper to Scotch Brite and others.

The metal sanding ones, if they look like metal are normally steel wool pads. If the look like sandpaper or scotchbrite pads they are the like. Harbor freight has them for about $16.00, and most places that have the grinders have them, BUT they don't store them in the same location. I have seen them with sandpaper, over by the drills and bits, etc. Odds are the store you bought them has them in a different area. If you look around online, you can normally get a kit with the grinder and discs for not that much more and a lot less than a friend of mine who loves overpaying (and financing, because he can't afford overpaying) off a tool truck.

I've started using the roloc system as well, and when I first saw it I thought it was too much $$$. It is pricey to start but it's so convenient for swapping discs etc you kind of forget.
