Monday, November 15, 2010 Bosch 1293D 1/2 Sheet 120-Volt Finishing Sander USA Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This sander is an excellent product. It's very quiet, vibration is to a minimum, easily connects to a vacuum hose, and the sandpaper can be quickly changed.

Which hose attachment to get:
Confusion exists with all the multitude of adapters to connect this Bosch sander to a vacuum hose. I want to clear this up here and now. To connect this sander to a ShopVac with the smaller 1 1/2" hose, buy these 2 items:
Bosch RS006 Hose Adapter for Various Sanders
Fein 921072K13 Step Adaptor
The Fein step adapter is made of rubber - not plastic. It's easy to cut where it will fit snugly on the Bosch RS006 adapter. (DO NOT BUY Bosch brand adapters other than the RS006!!) Make sure you TAKE YOUR TIME cutting the Fein step adapter. I left a little extra rubber on mine so I could use a hose clamp if needed to secure it to the Bosch RS006.

I rely heavily on customer reviews and hope mine was helpful to you. Feel free to leave a comment or question.

Cheers,
Jeff
