This review is from: Bosch 1276D 12.5 Amp 4-Inch-by-24-Inch Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag (Tools & Home Improvement)

The sander arrived this morning. I was sanding a plywood floor when my old sander died. The 4" Bosch is very heavy, but the weight comes in handy. I completed a 12 X 20 floor in thirty minutes this morning. I liked that I did not have to push down on this sander to make it work. I also liked that the wide footprint keeps the sander from biting groves when you change direction.

When I ordered this sander, I was looking for a belt sander that has an option of a sanding frame. Both Dewalt and Bosch offer a sanding frame. I did not like the reviews on the Dewalt because I was reminded of electronic problems. I have been through that issue with Dewalt routers and it was not a pleasant experience. The wide belt also swayed me over to Bosch. So far, I am very happy with this sander. I will update if something goes wrong.

If you need a 4" belt sander, and you can get this one for under $100, just buy it. Plenty of power. If you bear down it will burn the wood. Dust bag works ok. With a vac I see no airborne dust at all. (But I am sure there is some.) Very coarse dust is not all taken in by the vac.

I have been a carpenter for many years and my Matabo 21" belt sander finally gave out after 25 years of major abuse. I wanted a replacement that will work fast. This Belt sander is a beast! If you are looking for a sander that you can easily handle with one arm (especially in a 45 degree or vertical position this is not for you be. However, if you are looking for a belt sander that will cut fast, this beast will do fine. Changing belts is very quick and efficent. I am thinking of making a vertical stand to make this an occasionally vertical/horizontal stationary sander. I still believe Matabo to be the best tools in the world but Bosch isn't far behind. The price was right and I get to develope some forearm strength in my old age. I am giving this a 4-star rating.
