Bosch - Random-Orbit Sander 1250DEVS
Bosch’s 6 in. random-orbit sander features a two-speed, soft-start motor
Sep 01, 2004
This dual-mode machine features a powerful soft-start motor. Finish results were excellent in the “Normal” mode, and stock removal was dramatic in “Turbo.” Mode changing was a snap. The tool body was easy to hold, and the padded top grip was a plus. Access to controls was adequate.
Pros: Excellent dual-mode switching, great grips, powerful motor, 13-ft. cord.
Cons: large size hampers fine work, no vacuum hose or adpater included as standard equipment.
