Smooth Performance
Excellent quarter sheet sander. Very smooth and decently quiet. I just completed a massive kitchen remodel and this was very helpful in getting sanding done on the styles & rails on cabinet doors. Top quality construction that should last for years.

good sander and good dust control
My Makita palm sander I bought over thirty years. finally died I loved this tool, but its one down side was It had no dust collection system other than a cloth bag that was useless. So when I went looking for its replacement, I wan’t something with a decent dust collection system. After reading through tyhe reviews of all the major brands, I had concluded that still none of them had a decent dust collection system. I decided on the Bosch Palm sander simply because I have a larger Boscg sander with pretty good dust collection, and hoped for the best with the Palm sander. When ther sander arrived and I gave it a test run I was delighted with the dust control it provided. I immediately got rid of the dust filter than came with the sander and hooked it up to a dewalt shop vac I have, and the results were pretty amazing. The dust control was better than anything I expected. Nearly any Palm sander nowdays will provide decent sanding, but if you have a good shop vac and can connect it to this Bosch sander (you need an adaptor to get from the sander to the shop vac hose) then you can sand away with little or no dust. P.S. I have been woodworking for 40 years, and I rarely write reviews. But when I find a tool that might benefit other woodworkers, I try to pass on my observations

This sander is very handy for finishing as it uses standard sheets of sandpaper that the included press pops the dust collection holes in. I just cut up a stack of paper in advance of the grits I need and when changing over, pop in the dust collection holes and right back at it.Vibration feed back to the user is good and stays comfortable to use for an extended period. Like my other Bosch tools, I look forward to using them as they allow me to build and finish far above what I was able to do prior. I think the fact they work so well makes you eager to do the best work you can as you do not get worn down my the frustration some other brands deliver.I do wear hearing protection although it is not overly loud, it does buzz along with enough noise that hearing protection is not a bad idea.As typical with all the other Bosch tools I own, this is a very nicely built quality tool that I expect will last me a long time.
