User questions & answers

Question:	Where could I get replacment filters
Answer:	Thank you for your question. The filters are not available separately it would be a replacement dust canister part #2609199179. http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-Sander-Replacement-Container-2609199179/dp/B002ENHE14/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1428435615&sr=1-2&keywords=Bosch+2609199179 If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499)
Question:	Can this sander be hooked up to a vaccum using standard attachments
Answer:	Yes it can, I hook mine upto a Rigid Shop Vac. However, because of the size of a shop vac type hose I would suggest going into a smaller hose that you would attach to the larger shop vac hose. For your Information, this sander does have a connector to connect to a dust extraction hose instead of the included dust system. This sander does make a lot of dust so going into an external extraction system is a big help.
Question:	My new ros20vsc, set at 6, slows noticeably if i just set it on a suface to sand. is this normal
Answer:	Thank you for your question. The ROS20VSC Orbit sander normally has a slow start, however, if it is for the whole time you are using the tool with the speed of 6, we might need to evaluate it. Kindly contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.
Question:	What is the difference between this and the ROS20VSK version? Just the carrying bag? Does the 'K' version have anything this one does not
Answer:	Thank you for your question. The ROS20VS is the same sander in both kits. The difference is the ROS20VCS will have a soft canvas carrying bag and the ROS20VSCK will include a hard carrying case. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499)

ROS20VSC 5-Inch Random Orbit Sander/Polisher Kit

The Bosch ROS20VSC 5-inch Random Orbit Sander/Polisher furnishes an optimized combination of pad orbit and rotation that delivers fast removal and a well-blended, ultra-smooth finish. This tool is designed to allow carpenters and cabinet makers to complete their tasks quickly and to exacting standards, without swirl marks. This sander allows users to find the perfect speed for whatever task they need to complete, with an optimal on-board system for filtering fine dust.

Includes

ROS20VSC 5-inch Random Orbit Sander, Soft Backing Pad, Sanding Disc, Vacuum Hose Adapter, Contractor Bag.

Built to Erase Swirl Marks

The Bosch ROS20VSC is designed to eliminate the most common complaint of random orbit sander users, swirl marks on the work piece. It features an integral pad dampening system that helps prevent swirl marks. The tool features Bosch’s signature HookTight hook-and-loop disc attachment. This attachment has over 35,000 long-life hooks that will ensure firm grip of the disc during use. Additionally, the microcellular backing pad is pliable to ensure a smooth, fine finish on both flat and contoured surfaces alike.

Right Speed for the Task

This random orbit sander/polisher includes variable-speed control, so users can demand the exactly right speed for each individual task. The speed is adjustable from between 7,500 and 12,000 opm, with a single speed of 12,000 opm, so operators can dial up or down. The orbit diameter is 3/64-inch, and the tool weighs in at only 3.5 pounds, furnishing remarkable sanding effectiveness in a tool that is straightforward and easy to deal with.

Comfort Comes First

The Bosch ROS20VSC features a comfortable soft-grip top and body in its design, which allows the user to have multiple grip positions.

Dust Prevention

This tool has a built in microfilter system that traps particles as small as 1/2 micron in diameter. The microfilter dust canister curtails dust spillback into the sander. This ensures that users aren’t breathing in too much dust on the job. The compact dust canister simply twists off, making the dust level visible and incredibly easy to detach when necessary. The sander is compatible with standard 1-1/4-inch and 1-1/2-inch vacuum hoses or any Bosch vacuum cleaner hose, and it features a dust-sealed switch.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this take the place of a belt sander
Answer:	A belt sander is great for any sanding job you need that requires a lot of material to be removed quickly, such as stripping paint or finishes on flat surfaces, smoothing out wood filter patches, sanding hard wood floors or removing hardened glue. If you need to finish wood surfaces or prepare surfaces, it is best to use a disc sander.
Question:	What the 5 is the velcro pad, id like to switch be it with a psa pad. Or, had anybody done this successfully with what pad
Answer:	Huh?
Question:	It writes it works 5-hole paper. Is it possible to use 8-hole paper? because 5-hole paper is more difficult to find... thanks
Answer:	I'm confused by all these answers. The description states; "The sander accepts 5-inch, 8-hole hook and loop paper". I see no mention of 5-hole paper in the description.
Question:	What's the difference between this and the D
Answer:	This one is not random orbit, like the D26451. It also has a more powerful motor, but I find the D26456 to be the best sander. Definitely buy one with a variable speed, like D26453K over the D26451. I returned this model quickly and rely on D26456 for woodworking and home improvement where I need a nice finish. This model definitely didn't come close to meeting my needs.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be clamped upside down? Is the top flat enough to be stable when clamped
Answer:	It didn´t fix the problem of my dishwasher
Question:	ridgid r2740 heavy duty variable speed belt sander 3 in. x 18 in case for this? if not why not
Answer:	We had a couple of things we tried. The control board and door switch were what we tried - the control board eventually was what we had to replace. It was pretty straightforward- there are YouTube videos that show how to do it.
Question:	How come its twice as much as the exact same refurbished item on ebay
Answer:	I replaced the board with the circuit power off, per instructions. When I turned it back on, the board started up but stalled again in a minute or so, just like the old one did. When I turned off the circuit and turned it back on, it worked! Been working now for a few weeks with no problem.
Question:	what makes the sanding belt 'walk' off the track? I tried loosening it; I tried tightening it~I still spend more time repositioning than sanding
Answer:	We had to return one as defective. The tech we eventually hired tested it and found it to be defective.
Question:	Does this accept the same pads you would use on a Porter cable sander? I believe they are also
Answer:	Gray
Question:	Does this used item come with sample disks and extension pole, etc
Answer:	gray
Question:	Is this 220V? or 110V
Answer:	Yes you do! Take door off, slide front panel off so clips can be inserted properly otherwise top will not fit snugly and you will break one or more of the tabs. I have yet to do this.
Question:	What is the size of this hose, my wet dry has a 4" hose. Is there an adapter for this
Answer:	No, you need part# W10084141 (or WPW10084141)

User questions & answers

Question:	how many watts
Answer:	watts =amps x volts. So If it's 3 amps, multiply that by, say, 115 (for volts which will vary 110 to 120), and so you get 445 watts.
Question:	Can i use this sander as a polisher
Answer:	absolutely. The best car polishers are actually 9 or 10" random orbital sanders that run at low speed. I used to polish cars professionally for an old couple that blasted you if it wasnt perfect. The technique is as follows: - always apply to the PAD, not the car - set the buffer JUST above the surface, turn on, and JUST before it starts to really HUM, lightly touch down and let the weight of the sander dictate the running speed of the pad. The pad should initially be on the lowest setting. This requires a bit of a touch, but the goal is to prevent ALL your polish and wax from flying off the pad and making a mess. ALSO, you DONT want to start the polisher on the surface: 1) its bad for the motor to be under an added load like that . 2) on startup, motors produce a substantial amount of torque and before your polish is evenly spread, could REALLY, suddenly dig in and possibly scratch or gouge the really ridiculously soft clear coat that is used nowadays. - use best products available: 3M yields amazing results, Chemical Guys supposedly reproduces those results, but I havent used them yet and am unfamiliar with the entire line.
Question:	Does this model comes with whole punch plate like my quarter sheet Makita? Suggestions 5inch sander model that comes with a case and that whole punch
Answer:	No, this uses round discs that are pre punched with holes, you do not need the punch plate. I have the same quarter sheet Makita sander, this is a big step up in performance.
Question:	Does it support 220v
Answer:	No, it's 110V.
