Am I missing something with the pricing? It's extreme.

Do people normally make their own perhaps?

It is what it is I guess, I just bought mine from sandpaper man ( forum sponsor) didn't think the price was excessive. Service was very welcome too.
cheers

I have always had a problem getting the sleeves on especially when they are a larger size spindle with a rubber core. They are Jet spindle sanders and I often wonder if I have been supplied metric sanding sleeves for imperial spindles.
