Description

The Bosch ROS20VSK 5 In. Random Orbit Sander/Polisher has an integral pad dampening braking system to eliminate swirl marks on the finished piece. This tool provides rapid removal and an ultra-smooth finish. Any pro who needs to sand – especially woodworkers, cabinet makers and finish carpenters – will find that the sander does the job to exacting standards and swiftly. To ensure a strong grip of the disc while in use, it employs Bosch’s hook-and-loop disc attachment. And the microcellular backing pad is pliant to ensure a smooth, fine finish on both flat and contoured surfaces alike. It was designed with an ergonomic soft-grip top and body. It has variable-speed control from between 7,500 and 12,000 OPM to match the speed to the task. It also includes an on-board system for filtering fine dust. From the Manufacturer The Bosch ROS20VS is designed to give even the most exacting finish carpenters, cabinet makers, woodworkers and others exactly what they want, beginning with great performance and results. The optimized combination of pad orbit and rotation delivers fast removal and a well-blended, ultra- smooth finish. Bosch's integral pad dampening system, a pad braking system, is designed to eliminate the most common complaint of random orbit sander users; swirl marks on the workpiece. Finish quality is further enhanced with the use of a soft microcellular backing pad. The pliable pad ensures a smooth, fine finish on flat or contoured surfaces.

  • Dust canister stays on!!
Style: Sander with Soft Carrying Bag
I got tired of the dust canister popping off my yellow orbital sander. After reading reviews I chose this one, as I’ve had great success with other Makita tools. The canister stays in this sander, there’s less vibration, and y try o me it was well worth the cost.

  • This is a great sander - especially for the price.
Style: Sander with Soft Carrying Bag
This is a great sander - especially for the price. OK, full disclosure, I am coming from a Bauer brand orbital sander to this fine piece of equipment. It has a lot less vibration and it seems to sand the boards much more efficiently. I love it.

  • I should have written a review *long* ago...
Style: Sander with Soft Carrying Bag
I bought my sander in 2016 and have used it *a ton* on wood working and metal working projects. This spring I even used it to sand the hull of my fiberglass sailboat. It simply is one of the best thought-out power tools in my arsenal. It collects dust *very* well with its included exhaust filter. In eight years I've never had to replace the filter, I just use my shop vac to suck out all the dust and debris from the filter, and away we go! That said, it also works well in collecting dust when joined with a shop vac; several days of continuous use on the sailboat proved that. What tipped me over to finally write a review is that the pad finally wore out. After eight years the sander wouldn't hold onto sanding pads any longer. But... replacement pads are available! Cheap! On Amazon! My recommendation; buy two replacement pads. Who knows if they'll still be available in 2032? While I'm at it I think that I'll search for a replacement filter, just in case... ... show more

  • Perfectly balanced unit that does the work for you. do not press down!
Style: Sander with Case
WOW I never thought that sanding would be EASY and FUN. This unit is EASY to use! The weight is perfectly balanced and wants to be flat and parallel to the ground. The handle is very comfortable and there are lots of grip areas that allows for multiple grip positions. Minimal vibration to the operator, although my hands were getting slightly tingly after sanding for an hour straight. VERY quiet motor, and very quiet operation. It is the quietest power tool I own, among all of my Bosch/Dewalt/Roybi/PorterCable tools. I had previously used my friend's dewalt finish sander DEWALT D26441K 2.4-AMP Orbital 1/4-Sheet Sander with Cloth Dust Bag and that thing was just so loud! Plus the vibration was just too my for my hands and operator fatigue was too much. I could only sand 10 minutes at a time with that Dewalt finish sander. I think I can go all day long with this Bosch ROS. The soft-start feature works great, although there is still some risk of swirl marks if you don't have firm control (laterally) as you start the unit. Sometimes I let the unit spin up before putting it to the work surface (I know the manual says not to) and I think it makes start-up easier. The rubberized grip doesn't make all that much sense because it gets covered in fine sawdust within the first use, but hey why not. The canister takes a while to fill up, but the filter gets covered in minutes. I guess that means the filter is doing its job, but now I see why the canister is so small. You'd never fill that up before clogging the filter first. For all you naysayers out there, LET THE TOOL DO THE WORK. I applied zero downward pressure and it worked beautifully. I cannot stress this enough. --> *****As long as you DO NOT PRESS DOWN the tool will do the work for you and make you happy.***** If you like brute force and tiring yourself out, get some sand paper and do it by hand. If you like to work easily and efficiently without breaking a sweat, just let the machine do the work for you. The specs say "Durable and compact twist-off dust canister shows dust level and easily detaches" but honestly, you CANNOT see the dust level. The entire unit will get covered in dust and there's no way you can see through that thing easily. The included storage box is nice, and it has compartments for storing extras like one extra pad (should you buy one). BY the way, if you need to remove lots of material a ROS sander is not for you. Save yourself time, money and agony and get this planer PORTER-CABLE PC60THPK 6.0-Amp Hand Planer. Or even a belt sander, depending on your application. The planer will be quicker and cheaper than buying boxes of 80 grit paper, and a planer can leave a finish better than 80 grit anyway. ... show more

  • The best 5 inch variable speed palm sander for the $!
Style: Sander with Soft Carrying Bag
This is my third one of these in about 10 years and I also have other palm sanders. I am a fine woodworker. I use them a lot, for a lot. I have never killed one, although I just returned a defective brand-new one and received this one that works and performs just as it should. Powerful, perfect variable speed, good dust collection {although I operate one continuously on a dust collection system), and excellent velcro pad that is easily replaced or swapped out to different pads. ... show more
