RM80724 | | In Stock | | Availability:
Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | The 1250DEVS multiple-purpose sander from Bosch has two sanding modes: random orbit mode for normal stock removal or fine finishing, and an aggressive -InchTurbo-Inch drive eccentric orbit mode that operates at five times the regular rate, in order to remove rougher stock. Its simple sanding mode selector switch quickly changes back and forth between the two modes, as your projects require it -- and the powerful 6.5 amp variable speed motor (3,100 to 6,650 opm) matches the tool's speed to the task, for a smooth result on all surfaces. This model is crammed with great convenience and power features, including a soft start function that tones down the start-up torque and a variable speed dial that makes it extra easy to match your working speed to the project. It also has Constant Response circuitry that maintains the pad speed under heavy loads while simultaneously protecting against overloads, and an integral pad dampening system to help prevent swirl marks -- plus a passive dust collection system (vacuum and hoses required, available by Bosch). The 1250DEVS uses 6-hole, 6-inch hook-and-loop discs. This kit includes a dust tube, soft backing pad, a left or right-hand auxiliary handle, one sanding disc, and a pad wrench (5mm) that stores on-board. | | | |

 Best sander we have ever used Sep 20, 2007
By Troy Wuelfing
"twuelfing"
We purchased this sander for finishing timbers. We build timber frame homes and need a heavy duty sander. There are a couple reviews of the sander referring to "plastic" I am not sure what the perception of materials are for the reviewers saying this, but there is no way you have an all metal sander, and if you did it would weigh a ton and fatigue you very quickly.
back to the point, we have run this sander with 200lb guys leaning on it with most of their weight for hours. It gets hot, but has never had a problem. When you have a few thousand square feet of weathered timber to clean up this thing is awesome. It works better than a belt sander for our purposes and when you need it to hog off material you flip the red lever and it becomes a super powered beast.
Bottom line, we use this sander professionally and don't take it easy on it. If your looking for a very well built sander that is heavy duty this is the one for you.
it is a little expensive, but we have never found a better sander. We have the festool one as well and it doesn't seem to have any advantage, other than the cool bright green color to let everyone know you spent a lot of money on your tool.
our only regret is that we didn't buy one sooner.

There Goes Bosch! Rebuttal Oct 26, 2004
By Tom Diver
"TD"
Great Product!
I don't know what product "Jonman x484" is talking about, but it can't be the Orbit Sander. I have been involved in woodworking for over 20 years and own a variety of Bosch tools. My latest purchase was the Orbit Sander to cut down on "sanding" time, and the product lives up to expectations. The two speeds allows you to "rough" sand and "finish" sand without changing tools. It is also very comfortable to use, almost like it was made for my hands. Also, once again, Bosch included a place for the wrench in the design of this tool. I love that feature! No more looking around for the right wrench to change out pads. The only negative is I feel that they should include a vacuum attachment as a bonus.

Rotex, WATCH YOUR BACK! May 07, 2010
By Benjamin P. Greer Jr.
My title is somewhat in jest being that I own and have used many Festool products and they are great, but it seems to me that they have always been somewhat over priced and seem to be made out of more and more plastic every year. For months now, I have been contemplating buying a drum sander to help speed up production as well as tighten up quality in the shop. I have watched hours of video and have read hundreds of reviews on numerous products before coming to the conclusion that for the money and the fact that you still need to run a sander like this over your product after the drum sander I was better off saving my money for a larger wide belt sander when the time is right. I looked at of course the Festool first but was having a hard time justifying the $495.00 that every dealer wanted, (Festool requires their products to be sold at retail or else.) I also looked into the Makita but it seemed to have so-so reviews and no dust collection. After all of this research I opted for the Bosch. Well let me just say that after finishing my first set of cabinets with it, What a Machine! Tons of power (seriously, it takes a little getting used to in TURBO mode). It's smooth and has great dust collection when hooked up to my shop-vac. It is as aggressive as a belt sander but without the risk of gouging your work piece. And being able to flip the switch and go right into orbital sanding with the same grit cuts down tremendously on sanding time. I sanded 35 white oak doors and drawer fronts in about 2.5 hours and they looked awesome, normally I would have been there all day. And funny enough, I still used my Festool ETS 150 3 to finish sand everything (it's a pretty sweet machine). Sorry for the long winded review but I feel it is important to give an honest review along with some of my reasoning so that those of you considering making this purchase can make an informed decision. I would buy it again!!

Heavy duty sander, nothing wimpy here, still going strong 6 years later Jun 27, 2006
By EvilTwin
I was looking for a 6" random orbit sander that could be used with a shop vac for dust free sanding. When you get right down to it, there are not that many choices. The Metabo SXE450 and its discountinued Rigid clone the 2610, the Festool RO150 and the smaller ETS 150 series are its closest competitors. The Fein MSF636-1 is way overpriced and the Makita BO6040 had middling reviews and no dust collection. I bought the Bosch sight unseen and have been very well pleased with the results.
This sander is no lightweight. Using 80 grit sandpaper on the agressive setting at full speed and it will walk you around if you dont have a good grip on it. But that is the same as the much more expensive Festool RO150 and that sander costs about double the Bosch. On the less aggressive setting or with the speed lowered down a bit it is easier to handle but does not remove as much material. Using a medium grit sandpaper on the smaller orbit, it is very smooth and makes quick work of sanding chores. Dust collection using my Fein vac is excellent, I can find no dust on the work when hooked up. Dust collection is integral to the tool, it's not an afterthought and it shows in how well it works. In Summary:
Pros: Very powerful, smooth, well constructed, excellent dust collection, Made in Germany, cheaper than the Festools
Cons: Heavy tool, not small, can be a handful on wide orbit setting, more expensive than the Metabo
Please note, the Vac002 adapter Amazon sells does not fit this sander. I ended up with a fein adapter that works perfectly.
Update, 6 years later.
Sander is still going strong. A bit of wear on the pad but still holds the paper fine. My collection of sanders has grown a bit, I now have a festool 125 for smaller jobs as well as an older makita that will numb your hands in 5 minutes and a dewalt quarter sheet sander that is handy for those jobs that have corners that need to be gotten into. Still, the big old bosch is my go to for large jobs like boat hulls or jobs where I want to take off a large amount of material in a short amount of time. Price wise its even more of a bargain today, since it is about the same as when I bought it in 2006.

One capable sander Jul 28, 2005
By B. BRITTON
"The Restoration"
I bought this sander to fill the gap between the belt sander and the block sander. Good choice; the locked in aggressive mode really takes off material. I really like the random orbit mode; I can hold it flat on the work with one hand and it doesn't want to jump around. Nice. One has to wonder if the unhappy reviewer got a knock-off Bosch and not the real thing. This is a useful tool
