I thought I would follow up on this one regarding buying cheap contact wheels.

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1374540-Contact-Wheel-questions

I recently bought a 6-inch wheel from them and from now you can even get them with bearings mounted. They list it with 6202 bearings, but I ordered it with 6001 bearings. Just send them a message. The installation of the bearings was well executed and the wheel runs perfectly true. So, now they come complete - and really cheap.

As I mentioned earlier, I have no affiliation with them. I just want to help you guys get good deals. You've been most helpful to me in my knife making endeavour.

$78 USD for a 10-inch contact wheel with bearings installed (including shipping).

or

$84 USD for a 12-inch contact wheel with bearings installed (including shipping).

I've been hogging a lot of steel with my 10-inch wheel from them. The quality is just fine.
 
I browsed around I'm really interested in getting some small wheels from them if they'll fit my small wheel attachment. I've got to measure and see, but they're the first place I've seen selling rubber coated small wheels.

I don't know the price of the aliexpress small wheels but I'm pretty sure KMG has them listed for 30-40 .
I might look into the 10in from them later down the road. Plan to use it mainly for hogging off material

Beaumont metal works carries the rubber coated wheels.
They're more expensive, but very good quality. The wheels I mean, the bearings have lasted me a couple years so far.
 
They don't give any dimensions so I'm unsure if they'll fit my OBM small wheel holder.
 
Thanks for posting the link. I've ordered from aliexpress.com (but not that store) several times in the past with good service and fast delivery when using DHL shipping. If I didn't already have an 8" and 10" wheel I'd be ordering.
