The Bosch ROS10 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. Boschs 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.Customer Review: A little disappointed
I picked this up as part of a combo pack that included a Bosch variable speed jig saw. I've used it for a good 8 months or so through a handful of home woodworking projects. On the plus side, this sander has EXCELLENT dust control, even using just the canister unit. Power seems adequate. Feels comfortable in the hand. Bosch customer service is helpful and responsive. On the negative side, I feel the tool could be more aggressive in material removal. But the major problem is I can't get over how this tool vibrates. Out of the box the vibration was so bad it felt like it was bouncing. Sanding results were poor. I sent it in for repair and it came back the same way. Sent it in for repair again, same problem. So after contacting Bosch directly I was referred to a manager at the nearest service center. He told me to send it in again and he would ship out a replacement tool at no charge. The replacement tool is better, but it still vibrates. I've heard this is common to some sanders, and I'm convinced this is a trait for this model. Sanding results are OK, but the vibration is aggravating over longer periods of sanding. It's unfortunate because I've been pleased with every other Bosch tool I've owned. Nonetheless, I'm looking for a replacement sander. I just wish I could try one before I buy it...
Customer Review: Very nice
Keep in mind I am new to wood working and this is the first elec hand held sander I have ever owned. This sander fills good in your hand. The rubber grip on top feels like non slip material. The weight of the item tells you its not cheap. When in use the vibration of the sander is not unbalanced or womble at all. The craftsmenship of this product is what you would expect from any product made by Bosch.
