Bosch 1293D 1/2 Sheet 120V Orbital Finish Sander USA

This sander has everything you want. It's got plenty of power, the dust collection is excellent, it's not heavy, and the level of noise is low. I was able to complete a job of sanding a weathered deck railing in half the normal time, with excellent results. Great design in every respect.

I've always liked half-sheet sanders because they are great for finish work on large flat surfaces, and this Bosch sander is outstanding. I've had it for a year now, and my observations are that the paper changes are easy, dust collection with the vacuum hose adapter is great, it's well-balanced, and it feels like it's going to last for a very long time. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I own several Bosch routers (1716EVS's) and a 5" Random Orbit Sanders (3725DEVS), in my book they are the best in their class. I needed a better sheet sander to replace my Makita and wow did I pick a winner! Like all Bosch tools I own this one is smooth as butter and there is absolutely no vibration (so you won't get tired). This sander produces an excellent finish and the dust collection is top notch (I use a shop vac attachment).

Changing papers is real easy, the sander is easy to handle and you don't get tired from vibration or noise. This is a very solid tool. As is normal, you get what you pay for and there is no disappointment here in this sander's performance.... I'm really happy with my purchase.

this sander is simply the best i have ever used. the dust collection system works great

Excellent high-quality sander. Used for over two years with no trouble at all. You will not be sorry if you get one.
