      The peal and stock backer pads wear out quickly, stick with the hook and loop backer. Mike

        Answer This Question

        It could, with the right sandpaper and a vac attached. You may find it's a bit small compared to a manual pole sander.

        By|Jul 2, 2020

          Yes, ROS10 Sander can be used to sand drywall. It is the sand paper that will vary on the application. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

                  Can you use this to polish wax on you car

                  Answer This Question

                  I don't believe so.unless you can find buffing pads that fit it. But it is a good sander and depending on the sandpaper grit you can take a piece of wood down to the dimension you need or put a very smooth finish on it. But polishing a car? Sanding the car to prep for a new paint job, now that would work.

                  By|May 30, 2021

                    Yes, you can use ROS10 to polish cars. You just need to attach a buffing pad RS014 or polishing bonnets. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

                              Can this be used for automotive paint sanding...I tried i using it to prep for primer and the pad kept falling off. I read in the manual that I may need to switch pads to a stronger grip for lower grit paper. Is this not the best or recommended for automotive?

                                I Recently, I purchased this product, which I have only used for approximately eight months. I initially made the purchase due to the brand reputation, which I had heard was positive. However, my experience has been far from satisfactory. I am deeply disappointed with the product. I was compelled to replace the disc pad because the velcro strap failed to function effectively. Yesterday, while using the product, I detected an unpleasant odor reminiscent of burning. Upon further investigation, I discovered that a small piece of plastic, located beneath the disc pad, had melted. Despite my efforts, I have been unable to locate the replacement part on the website.

                                  Bosch Ros20vs orbital sander/ polisher
                                  I bought it several years ago but just yesterday had a need to use it. I fired it up and felt sticky substance on my fingers. The red plastic border around the on/ off switch was melted. What do I do with it now? Could that plastic had softened on its own over time? It ran for an instant but I switched it off as soon as I realized there was a problem.

                                      Works well and great value for a first sander. There's only one speed though. I am curious if a model with multiple speed would be better over time. For instance, would the sand paper last longer?

                                      The filter is a pain on this, it keeps popping off while sanding sending dust everywhere. I tried everything I can think of to lock it in place, but that doesn’t last long before a corner comes off and sawdust sprays out.
