Review on 🔨 Bosch Power Tools: Enhancing Woodworking with Aggressive Precision by Chuck Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

TURBO=oscillating-rotating BIG PROJECTS saver

I have a Dewalt variable speed orbital sander (rated 4.8 stars) that works very well on small projects, but I was afraid my next project would be too complex for this tool. Did a little research and found a highly rated Festool tool ($600.00) that was at the top of the list and also read/watched videos on Festool and this get75 and both were "contract level" devices, that performed a specific function. I'm going to "repaint" the entire cedar fence that has started to peel (a cheap patch from a big chain). I have to unscrew each overlapping board and rail to remove the stain. Did a few with Dewalt (took too long), get75 has a "Turbo" mode that switches from oscillation to rotation from oscillation, and you can control the variable speed. It was important. The stain came off 1/3 times. This is a one man project that will save me several thousand dollars. Just replacing new circuit boards costs over $10,000 (materials only). I just hope they hold up throughout the project! I'll proceed to a second review of the reviews when I've finished my fence. I bought a Mirka abranet (grid sanding discs), used a 6hp vacuum cleaner. and can process a 6' X 5 1/2" board in a minute (Turbo mode). BIG grinder! downstairs in "Turbo" mode and #6 variable speed. Just my hand over the grinder slows it down to about 4-5 cycles per minute. I called Bosch, explained what was going on and immediately emailed me the FedEx label and case number. Total turnaround time was about 8 days! Excellent service and warranty! Bosch stands by their products I haven't seen this before but in a Canon camera repair professional (these guys are great too) I look at reviews when I buy a tool but customer service and repairs are UBER important. I give Bosch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mesh type sandpaper works better than regular sandpaper with holes Mirka makes "ABRANET" which is a 40 grit screen sanding pad.

Pros
  • Eccentric sander
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
