These pads are widely used in the metalworking industry and are made 
in a variety of grits by 3M (Scotch-Brite) and other manufacturers.

They are available from industrial supply houses such as 
McMaster-Carr and Grainger as well as metalworking supply houses such 
as J&L, MSC and Enco.

Try searching any such site for "abrasive hand pads".
