Spindle Sanding Sleeves

Spindle Sanding Sleeves by Size and Grit

Spindle sanding sleeves are the replaceable abrasive tubes that slide over the rubber drum of an oscillating spindle sander. Jet sleeves make up most of this collection, sized from 1/4 x 6 inches up to 4 x 9 inches in 60, 100, and 150 grit, sold in 4-packs, with 3-packs for 4-inch sleeves. Triton oscillating sander sleeves come in 80, 150, and 240 grit 5-packs and an 80 grit 6-pack.

What to Look For

  • Diameter and length. The sleeve must match the drum diameter and length on your sander.
  • Grit. Use 60 or 80 to shape, 100 to refine, and 150 or 240 to finish.
  • Brand fit. Jet sizes follow Jet drums. Triton sleeves fit Triton oscillating sanders.

Spindle Sanding Sleeves FAQ

How do I know which sleeve fits?

Read the drum size off your sander manual or the drum itself, then match both diameter and length. A sleeve that is too short leaves bare rubber at the end of the stroke.

When should I replace a sleeve?

Replace it when it burns the wood, loads with pitch, or stops cutting at normal feed pressure. Stock the grits you use most so a worn sleeve does not stall a project.
