Bosch Home and Garden PEX 300 AE Random Orbit Sander (270 W, in case)

bonne ponceuse mais pour les utilisateurs français, attention ! prise européenne et non française, il faudra penser à acheter un adaptateur (5 euros dans le commerce)

A very good product in my opinion. Has a fair amount of power, enough for most jobs in the home, is comfortable on the hands (vibration wise, in fact quite 'smooth'. I use industrial air driven sanders at work and the vibration can be awful, not the case with this sander), and the variable speed is very useful. I can't comment on the life of the Velcro pad as I have bought an intermediate pad which you put on and leave on the sander, and then the sanding discs attach to that, therefore extending the life of the pad on the machine (in fact it'll last almost forever). I suggest you do the same. The storage box is fine in my opinion, might not live up to life in a van, but is more than adequate for life in the shed. The dust collection box works well, but yes, it does fill up quite quickly- but its supposed to isn't it?! it is quite stiff to open, but again I would rather that than a sloppy fit, and I'm sure over a long life it'll ease somewhat so best to start off tight. Having said that when I use it in the house I'll connect the hoover and not use the box. All in all I think this is a great buy, and I am very happy with it.

Lijadora eficaz para pulir madera y lijar barniz o pintura, muy fácil de usar. Pesa un poco (mejor utilizarla en posición horizontal). Sorprende lo silenciosa que es en relación con su potencia. Las hojas de lija se cambian muy fácilmente y se puede regular la velocidad, incluso en marcha. Viene con una sola hoja de lija (para madera). La única pega: el enchufe es de tipo inglés (es muy extraño para una herramienta fabricada en Alemania) -> hay que comprar un adaptador de toma de corriente (no suministrado).

aunque vino con enchufe americano ,me va muy bien. . . . . . . . . . . . ..

I had one of these vibrating sanders which never seemed to do the job efficiently so I decided to try an orbital one. This one was a reasonable price and it does a great job. It’s not as loud as my other one and takes paint and varnish off no problem. Comfortable to hold and easy to use. Only drawback is that the dust collector is very difficult to remove - I always have to get my husband to do it for me which is a pain. Otherwise I love it.
