Alternatives for filter rolls?

Has anyone come up with inexpensive alternatives to the filter rolls they sell for automated fleece roller filter? I'm 80% sure that the fleece filter rolls you see for filters like klir are just coolant filter paper (unless they use pure polyester with no cellulose in it). The commercially available coolant filter paper is a fair bit less expensive. I'm currently looking for a supplier who sells rolls that are only 4-8 inches wide for a DIY automated fleece roller filter.
 
Yes you can most certainly use a polyester or even poly/cellulose blend filter paper in the 30-50micron range from a "non-aquarium" specific industrial product as a replacement..
Keep it a secret though ;)
