Product Description
This Bosch 12V Max Sheet Orbital Finishing Sander delivers freedom from a cord and maximum tool control. The GSS12V-40 features a well-balanced ergonomic grip, designed to keep the hand close to the workpiece for additional control. The powerful motor provides a high rate of stock and material removal, delivering corded-like power. The 12V Max brushless motor also provides extended runtime, allowing the user to sand in tight, hard-to-reach areas without having to fumble over a cord over the shoulder or arm. The orbital sander handles a variety of sanding applications. The sander has interchangeable sanding plates, allowing 1/4 sheet, 1/3 sheet and detail sanding, for ultimate control and versatility. The included dust bag allows mobile dust collection, while the tool has an interface for vacuum hose attachment.
