bobbin sander sleeves

[sunnybob]

What going on? I just looked for new sleeves for my record bobbin sander and just cant believe my eyes.
anywhere up to a tenner a time for just the sleeve? The whole spindle / rubber thing only adds a pound to the price?

Please tell me theres a cheaper supplier out there.

Don't know how good they are, but Silverline do not make anything so they come from a different source: https://www.tool-net.co.uk/p-427374/sil ... 7QodwR0DoQ

And these from Triton: http://www.screwfix.com/p/triton-alumin ... 7QodMvQNUQ

I just cant bring myself to buy silv,,,, solverl,,,,, damn, cant even bring myself to type the word, let alone buy it.

I saw the screwfix, but its a set. I only have 2 sized bobbins, buying 8 different sizes is a bit silly because if I only use 2 of them I'm back to stupid cost each.
Any other links please?

Wow, those prices are staggering. best part of a fiver for a 50 mm tube.
looks like something else I'm going to have to make for myself.

Subscribed, Except for Silverline, I would like to know where you can get bobbin sleeves for under £3.00 each as well.

Mind you if your not bothered by those who should not be mentioned, the Silverline sleeves work out to £0.64 each or if you can only use two of them £1.91 each, don't think you will find any better value.

well this is weird. i searched the record site before posting this thread, and was amazed at how dear they were.
I've just revisited records site to double check the costs and ended up on this page, which shows about half the price I saw last time.

Thats much more realistic.
