Need to sand something about 1" wide. Will this do the job using the point? Don't want a 3" footprint. thx mb

Yes it will work but when you put pressure on just the tip it wears the felt off the back of the sand paper very quickly and then it does not vibrate as well. You can rotate the sandpaper twice to get more usage out of a piece. If you use the point a lot it will wear the hooks off the backer plate also. Try to lay the point as flat as possible.

Yes you would need a pretty large sized compressor. What I thing they are referring to is the fact that this dual action sander does not freewheel like other DAs. Hope that helps.

Yes it can. I sand my amouire in about a hour with just three sheets of sandpaper and otherwise job would've taken hours to do. I love this little sander.

with the edges taped well it would be fine. The tip does not shoot in a real fine pattern. We use this blaster for blowing sand into chink lines on log homes and works well. Montana Log Restoration, Inc.

No. Would not work for sanding wood. This tool is a light weight. I was very disappointed in it.

I have that milwaukee sander and I used this sanding pad replacement when I replaced the pad for the second time. so, yes it works:)

I would say yes. This is a great multipurpose sander with plenty of power. If you have a lot of floors to do I would recommend getting a actual edger. Personally I did a whole floor (350sq ft) with this sander because to rent floors sanders would have been very expensive.

No problem with mine. The sanding screen is coarse though. I found the sander seems to work best with light pressure in random directions. The sander cut down about 99.9% the sanding dust. I do get a scratch once in a while. Finish sand with paper to achieve a smoother finish.

The Bosch 5 in ROS20VSK sander a really excellent tool for flat-ish surfaces 5 inches across or more.... So maybe some parts of doors and flat panels. But it is a better prep sander than a finish removal tool. If you have mouldings and door panels you will want a detail sander... after a chemical strip. There area lot of eco-freindly chem strippers out there, so don't fool around with sanding old varnish off detailed parts. Look into multifunction tools at Harbor freight. harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=multifunction+tool One they offer has variable speed and comes in a kit with a triangle detail sanding head. Better than the Fein Tool which costs a ridiculous amount more. I know. I'm a pro and I use my HF tool all the time on jobs with guys who have Fein Tools...HF is a Great tool for the money. Skip the bigger sanders listed as "detail sanders". They are too large You will want to cut your own sandpaper for the detail heads from 3X sandpaper hook-n-loop disks. 3x sandpaper is excellent stuff so if you buy this Bosch RO sander get some 3X discs for it too.

if you are looking for a sander to sand a large flat area then this is a good sander for you. I used it for sanding 1x8x8 boards and it worked great. Also I used it with a dust extractor and punched holes in my sand paper with a standard hole punch. Doing this removes the dust so that you are not sanding the dust, only the surface. This make the job go much faster. But since you are looking at sanding a ceiling I think maybe something on a pole so that you can sand from the ground??? Unless you feel like sanding upside down for extended peroids of time.

As long as you degrease the area first and have enough contact I think it would work very well. It's very coarse like 220 grit sandpaper.

Yes, this is a wonderful sander and should work great. Also you can use sandpaper from other models if choose.

I don't think it will move your sand unless you point it right down at it it should be fine just pointing out but if you are worried about it go with the smaller one

yes you will have to cut off the point or else it will not fit. Hope this help

Dennis, If you have a 6" sander, these sanding disks will probably not cover your entire hooked pad. That would damage the hook area on the exposed portion of the pad. I would guess that these will not work. D. Stockwell

yes, this sander is good for any project, just select the proper coarseness paper like a 60 and set it to removal mode, then keep it moving because it is very effective.

It sounds plausible, but I've never had to try it myself. I have recently been restoring and adding to my house - crown moulding/baseboards - that sort of thing. I also refinish furniture. I love this sander for the detail work, corners, etc. I use it on almost everything I do. Good luck with your project.
