a decent light-duty sander for the price , it have some problem but also some nice feature . I like that the sander hit the right mark on weight . I do not have to press on it at all , nor should one press on a belt sander anyway . I like that it have a 6-foot long power cord . that be about 3 foot longer than on most power tool these day . I like that I can turn the sander upside-down , a very nice feature . Belt change be simple as be adjust the belt tracking . there be attachment which can be purchase to enhance the upside-down experience . they be ridiculously expensive . a crafty person can improvise this with various shop equipment -lrb- think clamp -rrb- , thanks to the sander 's flat top . why do I need to use a tool to remove the front handle ? the graphite pad , supposedly a feature , self-destruct quickly . seriously , that pad need replacement after every hour of sand . it be the worst aspect of this sander . if you buy this sander , get some pad because you will need they . if you only run the machine for a few minute at a time , and the pad have a few more minute to cool between use , you might get better result . the wobbly variable speed dial feel cheap . I be not sure it will last long enough to go out of warranty . it take some head-scratching and read to understand how that dial work . it be not very well marked and it be confuse to find which mark the hard-to-read number be suppose to be set against . as it turn out in use , the number mean little since the sander 's speed only vary within the just-short-of-fast to way-too-fast range . I use the sander with my Shop-Vac attach so I can not speak for the bag attachment . I be assume it be a upgrade version since it be nothing like the bag show in the product photo . with my Shop-Vac , it seem all the dust be suck up so I do like that . I do notice that the instruction address a different type of dust bag and fitting than be provide with the sander . not a big deal , but it make one wonder why Bosch can not be bother to update they literature . I like the sander . it will work for I as a light duty machine . just keep you eye on that pad .
