BOSCH 2610968882 Plastic Carrying Case CC725 For BOSCH Random Orbit Sander/Polisher and Circular Saws

Customer Review: This is a circular saw case
The box that this case comes in is labeled "Circular Saw Carrying Case." However someone at Bosch or Amazon put another label on the box that states it is the plastic carrying case for Bosch's random orbit sander/ polisher. A search on the internet for "Bosch 2610968882" shows that it is the case for Bosch 1654, 1655, 1657, and 1658 circular saws. This case can be used for the sander, but the inside is still molded for the circular saw, extra saw blades, and a guide.

Customer Review: Does the job
I've used this on my old woodwork and to hit the edges of the wood floors we refinished. Great paper, holds up, doesn't gum up. Does the job.
Customer Review: Does what you'd expect
Why review sandpaper? I have too much time on my hands while waiting for my wife to get ready to go out for lunch. Hey, it's a round disk of sandpaper with holes for dust collection. I guess the best I can tell you is that the paper and abrasive holds up really well. I've found that they wear uniformly and perform at a level of quality that you would expect from anything carrying the Bosch brand name. I'll buy more of either these or Mirka depending on which is the better price.

Bosch 1250DEVS 6.5 Amp 6-Inch Random Orbit Sander with Vacuum Port

About Bosch Random Orbit Sanders
In Bosch's random orbit sander family, you'll find an assortment of powerful, versatile sanders and polishers that are designed for low vibration and minimal noise. These models feature counterbalance mechanisms that serve as the basis for the dual bearing pad mount system, which can be operated with one finger on a soft grip.

About the Bosch 1250DEVS Random Orbit Sander
The 1250DEVS multiple-purpose sander from Bosch has two sanding modes: random orbit mode for normal stock removal or fine finishing, and an aggressive "Turbo" drive eccentric orbit mode that operates at five times the regular rate, in order to remove rougher stock. Its simple sanding mode selector switch quickly changes back and forth between the two modes, as your projects require it -- and the powerful 6.5 amp variable speed motor (3,100 to 6,650 opm) matches the tool's speed to the task, for a smooth result on all surfaces.

This model is crammed with great convenience and power features, including a soft start function that tones down the start-up torque and a variable speed dial that makes it extra easy to match your working speed to the project. It also has Constant Response circuitry that maintains the pad speed under heavy loads while simultaneously protecting against overloads, and an integral pad dampening system to help prevent swirl marks -- plus a passive dust collection system (vacuum and hoses required, available by Bosch). The 1250DEVS uses 6-hole, 6-inch hook-and-loop discs. This kit includes a dust tube, soft backing pad, a left or right-hand auxiliary handle, one sanding disc, and a pad wrench (5mm) that stores on-board.

Applications
The 1250DEVS removes stock and finishing material quickly, without scratching -- making it perfect for most sanding jobs, from wood floors to furniture finishing. Bosch makes an assortment of 6-inch hook-and-loop discs and pads to fit this model, including discs for wood, paint, and special applications.

• 6.5 amp motor
• No-load speed: 270-600 rpm
• No-load orbit speed: 3,100 - 6,6500 opm

Customer Review: Festool Who?
I needed a sander for resurfacing my deck and while a belt sander would have been ideal it was not a tool that would get much use outside of that task. This sander worked so well that I do not feel I "sacrificed" anything. The "Turbo" mode removed material so fast it was amazing. no vibration what so ever. Once I was done with that job I wanted to test it on so furniture and it worked perfect. my 5" RAS will now sit on the shelf. You cannot go worng with this sander for any and all your sanding needs.
Customer Review: mixed feelings
I have to disagree with the glowing reviews of the sander. My previous sander was a Dewalt and I decided to replace it as I was getting a large number of swirl marks from it with the very hard woods that I like to work with (Wenge, Bloodwood, Purpleheart and so on). I bought this sander on the strengths of the reviews as a replacement, and overall it has not performed as well as the Dewalt. Part of that seems to be design and part that it is just not the right tool for the application. Strengths: 1. This is a very powerful sander. The motor does not break a sweat on anything. 2. The "fast removal" mode lives up to its name... it's very rapid. 3. Seems to work adequately as a polisher, though attempts to use it like this have always resulted in swirls in the finish. That could be user error though. Weaknesses: 1. Intense vibration. You need to have some good vibration absorbing gloves on when using this sander, and long term this kind of vibration is no good for your hands. I worked on the assembly line doing spot welding and I know long term what vibration does to your hands. It's terrible. 2. The same strong motor that doesn't flinch at anything can cause the sander to dance over the surface if the sandpaper grabs instead of gliding. The "fast removal" mode can throw the sander out of balance so that it wobbles and jumps all over the place. Small workpieces need to be clamped in place or else the sander can spin them on the bench. Surfaces that are not perfectly flat cause imbalanced friction on the disk and that can cause some of the jumping around. You need two hands on this, and a firm but light touch at all times. This is in contrast with a smaller, lighter sander that will glide. 3. Regular sanding mode doesn't feel like, in spite of the power of the sander, to remove material any quicker than a smaller, less powerful unit. In combination with the two handed use and the constant threat of the sander jumping, it seems to be a net negative as a tool. 4. "Swirl Free Finish" once again does not live up to its promise. Everyone promises this but few deliver. I think this is really highly dependent on the kind of material you're working with. So overall for myself, I think a lighter less powerful unit would have been the better choice.

Bosch 3725DEVS 3.3 Amp 5-Inch Random Orbit Variable Speed Sander with Dust Canister

An exceptionally smooth start gives you a great first impression, and the more you use this sander, the more impressed youll be with its eager 3.3 amp motor and Boschs Constant Response circuitry, which maintains constant speed under load. It uses hook-and-loop discs, far more durable than the adhesive kind, and the pad-dampening system helps prevent swirl marks. Theres very little vibration in hand, giving you beautiful control. Adding to that is the ergonomic soft-grip front handle, which is easily detachable for maneuvering into tight spaces. The two-finger trigger is comfortable and smooth, and the lock button engages quickly and easily without contorting your hand. Variable speed adjusts at the turn of the thumb wheel, and the motor handles even abrupt changes like a dream. Boschs new Microfilter is a great improvement over the previous cloth dust bags, too.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Customer Review: Excellent General Purpose Random Orbit Sander
I've owned this sander for over two years now and have used it on a number of projects. I'm a big fan of Bosch and own several various tools from the company. Bosch's quality is outstanding in my opinion. This sander is no exception. I chose the 5" over the larger 6" because the slightly smaller size is more appropriate for general purpose work on furniture (again, my opinion). This slightly smaller sander is a little lighter and easier to manage. The 6" is nice if you're working on large projects, but is unnecessarily large for most of my woodworking needs. As other's have said, no RO sander will do everything, a smaller detail sander is still necessary for corners, etc. But for general use, this sander is exceptional. The variable speed is a must have for controlling the rate of removal and comes in very handy when working on sensitive areas. It is ergonomically comfortable to use with well designed handles. The canister dust collection is outstanding, although it must be cleaned often while using or it will start backing up and its effectiveness becomes considerably diminished. There is an available adapter for connection to a vacuum, which of course enables superior dust collection, but for all but large projects or constant use, the canister works just fine. Bottom Line: I have several sanders and this is the one I always reach for first. I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: bogus
This is actually a review I wrote for the Bosch planer. But as I already had written a previous review It would not allow a 2nd one. So I am writing it here. I think some of these reviews are fake. After cmy problems with this planer I noticed that some of the other reviews were so glowing. so I clicked on " Ted Peterson". Surprise, surprise. He has made 8 reviews. All 8 were Bosch products!! All 8 were rated 5 star!! And all 8 were gushy in their praising of Bosch perfection. All 8 repeatedly mentioned the Bosh name and could not find ONE bad thing to mention in the performance of 11 tools. Have you ever bought 11 perfect tools? Same for " Skip Morris". 9 reviews. 9 Bosch tools ( and nothing else). Nine 5 star reviews. Nine Bosch love affairs. I think they work for Bosch.

Bosch 1295DVSK 2.2 Amp 5-Inch Palm Grip Variable Speed Random Orbit Palm Sander with Dust Canister

What sets this sander apart from the ever-growing pack of random orbitals is Boschs new Microfilter dust filtration system, which the maker says will trap particles 60 times smaller than a human hair. Eight dust ports on the pad surface extract the material up into the filter, keeping it out of your lungs. The sander itself, a palm model, is relatively lightweight and comfortable in hand, thanks to the ergonomic soft grip, yet the 2.2 amp motor will power rotations from 7,000 to 12,000 RPM with a turn of the speed adjustment dial. The variable speeds offer you a range of applications, from serious stock removal all the way up to fine finishing. Bosch says its swirl free, but youll still want to use caution when starting up to avoid those swirl marks. Its inexpensive enough for the home do-it-yourselfer or hobby woodworker to own one, yet we can easily see this in a professional shop with Boschs long life and superior quality.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Customer Review: A smooth operator
I have only used two ROS in my shop. This is a comparison of those for fairness. I had a 5" Ryobi ROS for several years. After the bag developed a hole in it and the pad came loose several times, I needed a new ROS. I purchased the Bosch and could not believe the difference. The Bosch was so much easier to control, it didn't walk, and the vibration was far less. More importantly, the results were outstanding. It leaves a silky smooth finish on my projects. I am very hapy with my ROS's performance and price.
Customer Review: poor durability and dust collection
I chose this sander based on a top review from fine woodworking, and as a woodworker, cabinetmaker and finish carpenter, my sanders get a fair amount of use. I like how it feels in my hand, most RO sanders are too big on top- unfortunately, that's about the only good thing I can say about it. The dust collector has never worked- I can sand all day, and barely anything makes it into the canister- my old dewalt with a cloth bag worked much better. The other problem is durability- in just over a year, I've replaced the hook and loop pad three times, and now the bearing for the orbit action has gone out, and the pad wobbles instead of sanding flat, resulting in a poor finish , and lots of vibration and torque. And you can't replace the bearing without replacing the entire fan/spinning assembly. I own a lot of bosch tools, but I feel like I've been throwing money and parts at this thing since I bought it. I just replaced it with a makita, and the dust collection is superb.

Customer Review: just ok
I was disapointed b/c in all the stores the sander comes with a case.. I had to order the case in addition to the sander which after shipping made it about 25.00 more than the local store.. just not happy
Customer Review: Dewalt let me down
Let me start by saying that I have LOVED all my Dewalt tools. But, this sander sucks! At least the one I received. I have an eight year old DW 421 ROS that has served me well with my only complaints being the rubber sealed switch that has always been tempermental and it being underpowered. I have been shopping for a new ROS for a while now with variable speed and more power being two requirements. The highly rated Porter Cables never quite felt right in my hands and the Bosch sanders seemed to have too much vibration when in use. I was excited to see the ad about the new Dewalt sanders- bigger motor, cool new look, and it is a Dewalt!...I was on the list to receive one of the first ones. It finally came, it looked a little plasticy, but still cool. I plugged it in and turned it on (same lame sealed switch but not worn out like my old one) and the sander came to life- it had a wierd high pitched kazoo-like sound that had me concerned but I was going to see how it sounded in action. The variable speed control was really hard to turn, but I suspect that would get easier as it wears. I put on a new 150 grit sheet and tested it out. It didn't feel good in my hands, the top was big and odd shaped. The high pitched vibration sound was still there. It sanded as well as my old sander but not better. I decided to do a three way comparison with my old DW421 2.0 amp, my friends Bosch 1295 DVS 2.2 amp, and the new D26453K. The Bosch had both Dewalts beat on build quality and power when sanding but without the CFS it just doesn't sand as well (I think what I'm sensing is consistent pad speed on and off the wood that the CFS provides for the Dewalts) The Bosch had more vibration than my old Dewalt but less than the new one. The pad on the new Dewalt stalled as easily as my old one and as I previously mentioned I couldn't tell that this sander was more powerful. I could not rotate the variable speed switch with my thumb while operating it- too stiff. And that horrible sound!! I'm sure I got a less than perfect copy, but I am still disappointed in Dewalt for either poor quality control or if they are all like that, for a sucky new ROS.

Customer Review: Great Product
I have only had limited use with this sander on only one project but the evidence is clear. This is the best sander I have ever used. It is easy to control, does not wear you out, and the dust collection is great. Everyone should own one of these. Pricey, yes. But worth every penny.
Customer Review: Nice little dust generator
I bought this one based on other reviews of the 390. So far it's working great. I used it to feather in my red oak floor instead of using an edger. I've used a variety of hook/loop discs, all worked fine. The pad isn't showing any signs of coming apart. The variable speed is nice. The discs didn't wander on the pad. I'm sold on hook/loop. Possible con: Be aware, the head is large, so if you have smaller hands it could be awkward as some people have mentioned. I had no difficulty with it. I figure if you can span a fingertip over a dollar bill, you should be easily ok. Under that will likely come down to personal preference or a two handed grip. I had no trouble with it wandering on me using grits from 60 to 120 on various woods. The 80 grit left fine swirl marks across oak grain, but above that was ok. I won't say this is the sander since paper, wood, pressure, etc. are all factors which will add up to a result unique to your situation. I found 100+ grit in my application was glass smooth. My one complaint: The dust collector works well, and the suction through the pad holes is doing its job, but the dust which does escape is very, very, fine. This is the first tool I have with this type of hard plastic porous dust collector. It's nice and super easy to clean, but the finest dust goes everywhere. A good dust mask is a must for large projects without a vac. Another interesting feature of this plastic dust collector: In dry weather, it builds up a massive amount of static. Many times I zapped myself taking it off to empty. Not painful, typical socks on carpet + doorknob type zaps. For normal sanding, especially if you have a vacuum, I couldn't fault this item. I'd buy it again, recommend it, or give one as a gift. It has spent more time out of the case than in at any rate. The case is ok, I got it because it was less $$ than the one without. It holds the sander with lots of room for sanding discs. This is the only "K" model difference in the 390 series as far as I'm aware. Spent less, got the case. The brake is great, the pad stops in 2-3 seconds. Nice feature, that you don't realize you like until you switch it off the first time. 4 instead of 5 stars because of dust collection without a vac, and other brands include a reducer/attachment for a shop vac, which for the $2 worth of plastic should be as common as included safety glasses in nailers.

Customer Review: Excellent product
This product works very very well. I hooked it up to a non Fein dust collection system and there's hardly any airborne dust that I notice. Very aggressive sander, usually requiring two hand operation. But, boy does it chew up wood. Not good for small work, but for the furniture I build, it's great. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Fein compared to the Festool 6" Rotex RO 150
If you have been using cheap orbital sanders, the Fein will be a big improvement. For about four years, I have been using the Festool 6" Rotex 150 but it goes through motor brushes about every year. So, I thought a change was in order. I bought the Fein sander hoping not only to solve the motor brush problem but maybe improve over the Festool. There is absolutely no comparison. The Festool is a far better sander. Controling the Fein is difficult at best. When sanding narrow pieces like a cabinet face frame, the Fein jumps around. When sanding larger areas, the Fein sucks down onto the work piece making it more difficult to move. Long periods of sanding with the Fein are a struggle. The Fein is aggresive but, when you want less agressive sanding, you don't have a choice since it is only one speed not variable. I am especially disappointed in the amount of vibration the Fein has. The worse thing of all is the poor quality when sanding with high grit paper for the final pass. One other downer is the high cost and lack of availability of sand paper for the Fein. And if all that isn't enough, I emailed Fein regarding problems trying to register my sander online for the extra 2 year warranty. I never heard from them. By the way, I spoke with a Fein representative prior to buying the sander and told him I already have a Festool. He said Fein is the best. So much for honest salesmanship. If you don't want the above problems, go with Festool. The motor brush problem is the only down side and that might just be a problem with the one I have. Other people have told me they have never changed motor brushes in their Festool sander. The price is about the same on both sanders.
