BoschGSS18V-40N 18V Brushless Sheet Orbital Finishing Sander (Bare Tool)

Bosch make some of the best Sanders on the market, this one is no exception. Build quality is excellent. Very comfortable to use with low vibration. I didn't realize I was going to get three different sanding pads with this sander. This makes it even more versatile. Dust collection is excellent. Would highly recommend.

Easy to hold and use. Very low vibration.

This is, for the most part, a great finishing sander. It's lightweight, easy to operate, and versatile. The battery life is excellent (when used with an 18V Core battery), and the material removal is very controlled. The dust collection is surprisingly very effective as well (for a "sock").However, it is virtually impossible to find sanding paper for the machine. Additionally, the clamp-on mechanism that accompanies the 1/3 size sanding plate is a terrible design. It is, in fact, so bad that it's just about useless. That leaves you with but one option: buy a non-fitting hook and loop paper somewhere and adapt it to fit this sander.Bosch, I am German, and I am ashamed for you.

Initially I really love this but after using it a week dust port on the side beats the purpose for this sander. It blocks when accessing corners. It is still better than any other cordless finish sander but I am returning this to get a corded festool rts.

Yes, you get three different heads. I have four of these and keep two with the rectangular head and two with the delta head on at all times. Sandpaper is compatible with the Festool and Powertec brands. Powertec sells all of the grits you will need for the rectangular shape. I run a dust extraction vacuum on all sanding projects, which delivers excellent results.

As others have mentioned, you won’t find sandpaper with the correct hole patterns for the rectangle and triangle pads off the shelf. Bosch makes it, but it’s expensive and hard to find. The included punch plate is only good for the quarter-sheet pad. Otherwise it appears to be a solid machine, but I returned it for a refund due to the lack of paper availability.

Performed very well. I used this product quite a lot during a deck rehab this summer. Why did I not give it 5 stars? Two reasons, first the "Mouse Shaped" sandpaper is almost impossible to find anywhere and to a lesser degree I had to buy a separate battery and charger since it was sold as a bare tool only. Battery lasted a long time between charges and the tool is fast to start up.

Like all tools in this series that I have used, this sander does its job well. It's very low in vibration and noise; it removes material well; battery life is great, and it comes with a 1/3rd sheet base, a 1/4 sheet base, and a nice detail base similar to the B&D Mouse sander. It's been a bit difficult finding paper for this detail base. I haven't tried Mouse sheets yet. They may work.
