Replacement sleeves for Ridgid EB4424

[david kramer]

I'm looking for replacement sleeves for my Ridgid EB4424 OSS/OBS, my local store doesn't stock them. I've found references here for HF sleeves, homedepot.com, Klingspor and Rockler. But I can't find anything obvious on any of those sites. Does anyone have a reference to an online product?

Thx

P.S. Sorry to bring this up again, I know it's come up before. I've searched the archives and I can't find a useful pointer, hopefully this thread will be the end of it :)!

Amazon has them. Do a search for Ridgid sanding sleeves on the Amazon site. Klingspor looks to have some that will work to. I found a site that sold Klingspor sleeves and they had them in various lengths. You would just have to find something close. I was in a Home Depot here the other day and they had them so you might check another Home Depot if you have another one close. I bought a bunch of the sleeves when they clearanced them for some reason here while back. I have no idea why they did that considering they were and are still selling the sander. I very rarely use the sleeves as I keep the sanding belt on it and find it to be more useful with what I do.

Klingspor has 3 grits of 4.5 inch sleeves. I use them on my Rigid.

I just bought one of these sanders last week, and I had to go to 4 different Home Depots before I found one. The first 3 were all sold out of the sander and the sleeves, and they couldn't tell me when/if they would get more. It made me start to wonder if this model is being phased out/discontinued and soon to be replaced with a newer machine like they did with the planer and tablesaw??

Thanks. I found the sleeves on Amazon, but they don't have the 2 inch sleeves. Can you please provide a link to the site that sells the Klingspor sleeves, a link to the exact product would be even better!
