I am in need of an oscillating spindle sander and thought the Ridgid with the Spindle/Belt would be perfect for my needs. Trouble is NONE of the 5 Home Depot stores in my area stock the sleeves for the spindles. I emailed customer service about this and the only reply (a week later) was to go to the customer service desk and special order the sleeves. I own a BS1400, TS2400, WL1200, and TP1300 along with several of the new handheld corded and cordless Ridgid tools, but I cannot buy something that basic supplies have to be special ordered for. Any Ideas? RIDGID 3 x 21 In. Belt Sander - R2720 at The Home Depot::

It sucks you can't just picl them up at HD. They have had this problem for years when it comes to stocking refill and accessories...They are just out for a quicjk buck with the high dollar items.
Here are a couple of websites to check out. Buying paper from a big box store is a waste of money. In many instances, you can get two, three or more times as much paper for the same money as you can at the boxes. I usually try and anticipate my paper needs in advance and try to buy about a years worth at one time.
