Designed for tradesmen and serious woodworkers, this sturdy detail sander kit features Bosch’s revolutionary micro-filter dust canister for cleaner material, happier sanding, and healthier lungs. A true random orbit fini… More >>
excellent design, solid construction, and good features.
i purchased this deatil sander (+ a 5″ ro sander) to recondition the woodwork in our home (trim, casing, doors, closets, etc). the sander easily handled the trim work without destroying the drywall, the window casing corners and nooks, and even the countoured trim nicely.
some if its good features include:
*) a dial selection of speed settings from 1 – 6.
*) unlike the dremel this unit boasts true random orbit sanding.
*) the main sanding pad is shaped like a triangle and can be reorientated 120 degrees to get full usage of the sanding sheets w/o tearing off the sanding sheets.
*) good selection of sanding sheet extenders.
*) dust port for shop vac attachment.
*) sturdy construction.
i compared this unit to the dremel and felt the dremel was too flimsy, especially where the sanding pad attaches to the main body. the bosch’s sanding pad is more sturdy and locks into place solidly with no play.
i am satisified with this tool, it even performed better than i expected.

We are building a sailboat and had avoided buying a detail sander for three years, because the ones we’d seen had little power and were flimsy. When we needed to get into corners, we used a Dremel tool with a sanding drum. We burned out one Dremel tool, and then went through five of the (returnable) hardware-store brand. One day, a friend brought over her Bosch detail sander and we were astonished. We went out and bought one right away, and several months of hard use later we’re still very happy with it. We’ve worn out the triangle sanding pad (esp. its corners) so we’ll be replacing that, but we’ve been extremely happy with the tool itself. We should have bought one when we started the boat! It’s as good as our Porter-Cable random-orbital, and that’s saying something!

There are 3 grits of narrow extender paper that I have found:
SDNR060, SDNR080 and SDNR120. Try http://www.toolsforless.com and
search on any of these 3 SKU numbers.
All the best.

this little unit is really a gem. The only down side was finding sanding pads …found the b&d mouse pads fit it though…haha..so i have been using those for the triangle and then cutting the scap to make profile pads…they work great and HD sells them for about 4.50 a box…..enjoy…oh and no issues with unit that others had noted…I used it for stairs, a wood ceiling and a couple pieces of old funiture i wanted to prep for refinish and even using it for 6-7 hours no problems…though i will say i wish it had a dust bag…the hose option is a bit clumsy…

This tool does a nice job, but it is hard to find sand paper for for the narrow extender attachment. I have been looking for about six months. The standard triangle paper is very available.
