Bosch Orbital Sander Review - ROS20VSC

[@davidschwartz9636]

Thanks for a great review. - A proper review from someone that's not just taking a new tool out of the box, but has experience of that type of tool. Also like that you did the review after having worked with the tool for many hours. Have subscribed and will be looking at more of your videos.

[@mikebricker5781]

Thanks for the real life review. My dewalt broke its belt and I needed to get something to use while I wait on the belt to be delivered. Saw your review and decided to try the Bosch. I'm really happy I did. Better dust collection, lighter weight, and quieter. My wife and I use sanders almost daily and liked the Dewalt a lot but this will become our primary sander now.

[@Assimilator702]

Mike Bricker If you use your sander daily you might want to look into a $200 to $300 unit. Many people complain of the pad not being flat resulting in only the perimeter of the sand paper contacting your sanding surface.

[@mikebricker5781]

@@Assimilator702 I've looked at Festool but haven't convinced myself to spend the $700 or more by the time you add a dust extractor yet. Maybe later this year. I agree that both the Bosch and the Dewalt I have seem to use the perimeter of the disk.

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

Glad I could help. And thank you for sharing your experience!

[@Assimilator702]

Mike Bricker I might try the Makita pistol grip sander. It’s $103 on Amazon and it seems the backing disc contacts the surface 100%. If the Dewalt and Bosch sanders were designed for perimeter sanding I guess there isn’t an issue but some people claim the engineers @ Bosch say the pad should be flat. I guess Bosch is good about replacing discs but if most of the discs are concave that indicates a problem with QC that needs to be addressed.

Wonderful orbital sander review. Very quiet sander. Sanded 40 kitchen cabinet doors with this bad boy.

[@jamies8973]

This review was exactly what I needed. Thank you sir!

[@GanderFlight]

Fantastic review! Great information and good flow. I'd prefer a little less background music but the information was very helpful.

[@timemachineeddie1146]

Great review just purchased one used with the hard case. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@rac-cal7757]

A well done review. Informative and evidence based. Thank-you!

[@davidndahura7437]

Bosch makes good things, very creative brand like usual Germany people are gifted hands on quality. Good review spent lots of time loving makita, its expensive and no match to Bosch.

Nicely done review!

[@londo1dw]

Solid objective review. Very helpful.

[@fredflorist1682]

Honest review on a very good product. Just switched over from Craftsman V20 Orbital sander. The ROS20VSC is a lot quieter (LOTS !!) and very very little dust escaped (may be 2% versus 50% on the v20 design) in comparison. and Yes, it's lighter. It's a very good buy !!

[@davidquiroz1]

Very helpful video. Thank you.

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

Thank you for watching! Glad that you found it helpful.

[@NSBarnett]

Very useful -- very nicely expressed. Thanks.

[@gregvanblaricum4204]

Good review! Just bought one, can't wait to use it.

[@truelight1193]

Excellent review. I am not handy but I can understand it. Very practical. Get to the point unlike other junk videos I watched. Thanks!

[@hphillips7425]

Good video. I am looking at this sander and makati that cost the same. I like that the Bosch has a dust proof switch.

[@DarrylHart]

Great video mate, helped alot thank you.

Great review. Thank you!

[@monkeylordofdoom14]

you just helped me decide on this one thanks!

[@3Visionsart]

thanks brother

[@captjay5193]

Thank You for your review on the Bosch sander. I just bought one and am waiting for delivery. I plan to use it on my truck after painting and clear coat. Side note: thank you for not saying "yo" etc. God Bless.

[@Assimilator702]

Capt Jay How did the paint job turn out? A woodworking sander is not the first choice I would make for sanding a fresh paint job.

[@TMFfuntime]

@@Assimilator702 If you live in Kentucky it's actually the best choice!

[@sndmann5]

Great review!

[@TMFfuntime]

Great video! How upset were you when you saw the speck in the middle of your camera shot for the entire video?

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

To be honest, I was a little disappointed. But after having the experience of doing entire videos and realizing after the fact that the camera wasn't even recording or that the battery died in the middle of the video, you learn not to sweat the smaller stuff. Cheers!

[@annieoconnor1981]

I didn't see that speck til I read your comment! Too busy watching /listening to the content!

[@TMFfuntime]

@@annieoconnor1981 It’s a fault of mine. Attention to detail!!

[@RazorBucks]

Thank you for the review. Is the sander still holding up for you?

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

The sander is holding up fine. I use it sporadically. I have had the chance to use several other sanders, and I will be making another video on my new findings. However, what I will generally say it that this sander is excellent for doing basic all-around sanding. If you need something more powerful, you are going to need to move up in price range pretty far above this(4x more), to get a sander that does everything just as well as this one does, and also provides more power.

[@Assimilator702]

RENOS 4 PROS & JOES Does your sander sand in the middle of the pad or only around the perimeter. Many people complain their pads are not flat. I’m still on the fence about this one. I’ve never had an issue with a Bosch tool so I’m surprised this is a common occurence.

[@dennisreynolds6915]

Mine doesn't even sand on level 1-3 it's brand new

[@bobnicholas5994]

VS Variable speed is $69. Non variable speed is $59. The filter has an actual filter in it.

[@lorenfok1097]

So non variable speed only goes 1 speed? The fastest possible? Can this be problematic for projects? What I'm asking is variable speed worth the extra $20?

[@marioatencio1959]

@@lorenfok1097 I have one of each. I like them for different things. I like the power of the single speed for heavy sanding and use the variable speed for finer work. If I had to choose one - It would be a tough choice.

[@davecpgh]

I would of just sprayed stripper on the beams. Dissolves clear coats and stain pretty quick
