I understand that 50 - 90 bucks is not outrageous for them, but, anyone have another source or solution to the drive wheels and contact wheels?

I checked tractor supply, northern tool, etc. nothing so far.

I've seen people use all sort of things from cart wheels to skate board wheels but not sure how well the preform.

Any creative idea would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Ive been where you are.
Trust me on this one, you will spend far less money in the long run by saving until you can afford to buy a decent wheel. Boss has them at a good price.
I spent more trying to go cheap than I ended up paying for all the parts to build a KMG clone.

That would be me. I have looked for years and not found a metal replacement that is lower in price than what I have. I have seen a few drive wheels made from stacked and glued MDF but have not heard how well they held up. Sorry I can't help more.
 
Ah yea. Ns! I should have thought of that. Lol.

Yea, I'll prob end up ordering there.

The red one is def cool!
