Product Information

Bosch ROS20VSC 5" VS Palm Random Orbit Sander Kit Bosch ROS20VSC 5" VS Palm Random Orbit Sander Kit. The optimized combination of pad orbit and rotation delivers fast removal and a well-blended, ultra-smooth finish. This is not the case with a belt sander, orbital sander or sanding disc, all of which leave scratch marks if you don’t sand with the grain. The Power Tools Division of the Bosch Group is the world market leader for power tools and power tool accessories.

After running the sander across our ceiling to address old paint, plaster, and drywall, the circular edge of the pad was harder to separate than it was when sanding flat surfaces that distributed the rotation and pressure across the diameter of the sanding disc. I have been operating like this with other sanders anyway – they don’t stall, but to reduce the likely hood of swirlies. The GEX125-150 AVE is the stand out with nearly no vibration, good to great ergonomics, and good dust extraction. The downside with this particular cannister is the way everything snaps together – it can be difficult to notice if you do or don’t have a good fit.

It sands evenly which means I don't have to fear making start and stop marks, and the filter keeps the dust well. I did find that the 4mm was distinctly slower than the 6mm of the Milwaukee – in my test on sections of redgum, the Milwaukee was a good 30 seconds faster on the same surface area, while both took under 4 minutes to complete. With the more powerful motor, there was no stalling with my vacuum with the tool collar fully open or closed. It is designed to eliminate swirl marks on the workpiece, thanks to an integral pad dampening braking system.The Bosch ROS20VSC 5 in random orbit sander/polisher delivers fast removal and a well-blended, ultra-smooth finish, so woodworkers and finish carpenters can sand quickly and to exacting standards. The power cable is fairly short and thinner when compared to higher end sanders like the Milwaukee ROS 150E-2 or Bosch GEX 125-150AVE, but in this end of the market it is expected – the Makita has about the same length.
