About this deal
This design is much easier to get off and on the sander, and even easier to clean out with a screw lid – you won’t be accidentally throwing dust in the air.
The see-through body of the canister allows you to see how much dust has collected so you can avoid blockage, and I found it remained largely transparent even after several uses. 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. Even if we had more options, they’d have to be something very special to beat the GEX 125-150 AVE in comfort. Because the GEX’s sanding discs attach to the sander via Velcro (hook and loop fastening), you speed through different grits quicker than a Mustang racing a little old lady with a walking stick.I did find myself wanting an additional handle for balance, but that may be more personal preference and what I’m used to.
There’s a marked difference between the way the Bosch handles dust with discs containing holes, and discs without holes. Random Orbit Sanding Action - Combination of pad orbit and rotation deliver well-blended, ultra-smooth finish with fast removal rate. Additionally, the microcellular backing pad is pliable to ensure a smooth, fine finish on both flat and contoured surfaces alike.If you register the tool online within four weeks of purchase, you extend the warranty to 36 months. Soft Microcellular Backing Pad - Pliable pad ensures a smooth, fine finish on flat or contoured surfaces. The professional blue power tools from Bosch are engineered for excellence – meeting the highest standards in speed, precision and robustness for great, professional work results. My first project for the Bosch was cleaning up three rough-pine bookshelves that I cut to fit a deep closet in my home. Perhaps if you’re using it in the automotive industry, needing 1000 grit or higher, it may be an issue.
