User Comments about the Bosch 1293D 1/2 Sheet 120-Volt Orbital Finish Sander USA

So keep the $40 in your pocket ($143 shipped) and buy yourself some sandpaper with the extra money.Back to the sander:Confusion exists with all the multitude of adapters to connect this Bosch sander to a vacuum hose. It's easy to cut where it will fit snugly on the Bosch RS006 adapter. (DO NOT BUY Bosch brand adapters other than the RS006.). (10 months ago) and I'll be the first to say Amazon has been very reliable and the $79 prime membership is a wonderful deal. Make sure you TAKE YOUR TIME cutting the Fein step adapter. To connect this sander to a ShopVac with the smaller 1 1/2" hose, buy these 2 items:Bosch RS006 Hose Adapter for Various SandersFein 921072K13 Step AdaptorThe Fein step adapter is made of rubber - not plastic. This sander is an excellent product.

(had it in 3 days total shipping time)Folks, I have spent over $16,000.00 at Amazon since June 1, 2008. However, I felt compelled to let you know that Amazon isn't always the lowest price. It is very quiet, does not vibrate your hands to pieces, easy to change sandpaper, PLUS you can save $40. I left a little extra rubber on mine so I could use a hose clamp if needed to secure it to the Bosch RS006 - if warranted.I hope I've helped you with this review, both about the product and the price. like I did by getting it at TOOLS FOR LESS DOT COM. (sorry Amazon folks) When you spend as much money as I do, you look for deals, and this is NOT a good price at Amazon. I rely heavily on these reviews and appreciate your comments as well.Cheers,Jeff

I want to clear this up here and now.

The best part - I bought it at an estate sale for $35. I have used this sander extensively for a little over two years. It's easy to change paper, the dust collector works well and it sands perfectly. I would gladly pay full price though, for another. I do end tables, dining room tables and sideboards.

The shipping was fast and the sander is terrific. Bosch has been the tool of choice for me for some time and this sander is no exception. It's very quite and the dust collector works very well. I couldn't be happier. This will sand a lot of area fast.

Well, I was looking to buy a half sheet sander and I also own a lot of festool tools so my first options was to look at the RS2 festool version.Great machine but expensive (340.00) so I tried to find another options.I looked at different brands but knowing Bosch as one of the top quality, I decided to try.I bought it from Amazon and went to sand. So I saved good money and got good quality.I only need to see the longevity, I will comeback in one year to let you know, but I can tell you that you won't get wrong buying this tool. It is a pleasure, it is easy on your hands, low noise, you don't need hearing protection.I ordered the adapter RS006 and I can use it with my festool CT22 with not modifications.I tested this weekend the RS2 from festool and I didn't see any difference between the two.

This sander is simply amazing. Made in Switzerland, run smoothly with low vibration and low noice level. Is the best orbital sander on market.
