Carbatec Sanding Sleeves: Smooth, Even Finishes on Every Curve
Worn or clogged sleeves can scorch your timber, leave uneven marks on a curve and slow your sanding to a crawl. Carbatec Sanding Sleeves are made from durable aluminium oxide on a tough cloth backing, so they cut cleanly and keep working for longer. They're designed for the Carbatec Variable Speed Oscillating Benchtop 450W Spindle/Belt Sander and also suit other spindle sanders.
Choose your grit and set size, and keep the right sleeve ready for every profile.
Key Features
- Aluminium oxide abrasive: This hard-wearing abrasive cuts efficiently and holds up well under the heat and friction of spindle sanding. Your sleeves last longer between changes.
- Cloth backing: Stronger and more flexible than paper, the cloth backing resists tearing and keeps its shape on the drum through extended sanding sessions.
- Three grit options: Choose 80 grit for fast shaping and stock removal, 150 grit for refining your profile, or 240 grit for a smooth, ready-to-finish surface.
- Sets of 4, 5 or 6 sleeves: Pick the set size that suits your workshop and the range of curves you tackle most often.
- Multiple diameters in each set: Each set includes a range of sleeve diameters, so you can match the sleeve to the curve, from tight internal radii to gentle sweeps.
- Made for the Carbatec spindle sander: Designed for use with the Carbatec Variable Speed Oscillating Benchtop 450W Spindle/Belt Sander, and compatible with other spindle sanders too.

A quick tip: start with 80 grit to shape your curve, then move up to 150 and finish with 240. Use the largest sleeve diameter that fits your curve. A bigger sleeve gives a fairer line and spreads the wear across more abrasive. Before you buy for another brand of spindle sander, check that your drum diameters match the sleeve sizes in the set.
