Bosch ROS65VC 6-Inch Random Orbital Sander Review

I first reviewed the Bosch ROS65VC Random Orbital Sander in 2012. I was using this sander today and felt that this would be a great tool to give a long term look back.

We don’t always do this and you’ve all commented that you like the idea – so her goes.

So we’ll see how well this tool held up…. And were our initial thoughts correct? Did we miss something? Would we buy this sander again?

So here are a few highlights:

In 2012 I said to you all that this was the nicest sander I’ve come across and I still feel the same, here are some of my look back thoughts

1. I felt it was big and chunky
2. I loved the variable speed trigger
3. It removes material fast with minimal swirl marks
4. It has low vibration
5. The dust collection is amazing

Big and Chunky

In 2012 I was hesitant about the size of this sander. It weighs 5.3 lbs, has a rugged die-cast aluminum gear housing, and oversized forward grip [which is removable] I still feel that this sander is big but it has had no negative effects on projects. I’ve never removed the handle and it's so smooth and well balanced I can operate it with one hand, or a super light grip.

There is no fighting this sander, very little vibration, and that results in no fatigue.

Variable Speed Trigger

The Bosch ROS65VC Random Orbital Sander has a variable speed trigger with a lock-on button and a separate variable speed dial. The tool has a range of 5,500 to 12,000 OPM. In 2012 I commented that I loved the trigger switch, and I still do.

Fast Removal Of Material
• The Bosch sander is has a powerful 3.3 Amp motor and results in fast stock removal and a smooth, well-blended finish. There is an integral pad-dampening system that also helps prevent swirl marks for a consistent finish.
•
• It’s now my go-to shop sander.

Bosch AVC Vibration Control

This Bosch sander is smooth to use. Bosch used an exclusive suspension system to minimizes vibration. To do this they mounted 4 foam blocks to the motor to separate the housing from the motor.

Dust Collection

The sander has two dust-collection systems - Microfilter dust canister with integrated paper filter and screw-off cap that works ok, and a vacuum hose connection with airflow control. I pretty much exclusively us this sander attached to one of my shop dust extractors.

The dust port accepts 1-1/4” inside diameter and 1-1/2’ outside diameter hoses. You may notice in the video when attached to my Festool Mini, I use some tape to cover the airflow control.

Overall Thoughts

The cost of this sander has come down and you can now purchase it for $229 :

So would I recommend buying this sander? Hell yes – back in 2012 I said once you’ve used this sander, you’ll never look back. Well, 8-years later that statement still holds true. Well done Bosch.
