Bosch Home and Garden Belt Sander PBS 75 A (710 W, in carton packaging)

I purchased the Bosch Home and Garden Belt Sander PBS 75 A somewhat 14 months ago now, and I have to say, it has exceeded my expectations. As a DIY enthusiast, I was searching for a reliable and efficient tool for various home improvement projects, and this sander fits the bill perfectly. The 710 W motor provides more than enough power for my needs, allowing me to tackle both light sanding tasks and more demanding jobs with ease. I’ve used it on wood surfaces, from furniture restoration to decking preparation, and it has delivered excellent results every time. The sanding speed is impressive, whilst smoothing out surfaces quickly without leaving any unsightly marks. One of the standout features of the PBS 75 A is its ergonomic design. The grip is comfortable, and I can operate it for extended periods without fatigue. The adjustable sanding belt tension is a great feature, allowing for easy changes of the belts - something I appreciate since I frequently switch grits for various tasks. Additionally, the integrated dust collection system works quite well, helping to keep my workspace cleaner than I expected. Bosch has built a reputation for quality, and this product is no exception. The materials feel durable, and the overall build gives me confidence in its longevity. Even after many uses, there are no signs of wear or tear, which is quite encouraging for this price range. If I had to point out a few downsides, I would mention that it can be a bit noisy at times, so using ear protection might be a good idea, especially during prolonged use. Additionally, while the weight is manageable, some users may find it slightly on the heavier side compared to other models. However, for me, the benefits far outweigh these minor inconveniences. Overall, I highly recommend the Bosch Home and Garden Belt Sander PBS 75 A for anyone looking for a dependable and effective sander. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just starting, this tool will certainly meet your needs. The combination of performance, ease of use, and quality makes it a great investment for any toolkit and homeowner!. Would I buy it again? Absolutely!

Super starker Bandschleifer klar im Design stark in der Leistung. Das Geld hat eine sehr gute Preis Leistung. Ich habe damit eine 1 m starke Buchenscheibe in kurzer Zeit durch den starken Abtrag bearbeiten können. Empfehlenswert ist es sich Gedanken zu machen ob man nicht den Rahmen dazu kauft, hierdurch erhält man mehr Handhabungssicherheit. Nicht unerwähnt soll bleiben dass die Absaugung herausragend funktioniert und nur wenig Staub nicht eingesaut wird. Den mitgelieferten Filter habe ich nicht verwendet empfohlen wird von mir direkt einen Baustaubsauger oder eine Absauger in Richtung anzuschließen.

Robusta e funzionale non si ferma mai, unico difetto per quasto modello non poter cambiare velocità.

Super

My 15 year old Black and Decker finally gave up the ghost and I needed a replacement (sadly, because if it had lasted another couple of hours I wouldn't have to get a new one for six months). I have been making planed timber for shelves and cabinets by ripping lengths of 100mmx45mm (what I used to call 2 by 4s) into 45mmx14mm strips and then gluing them together on their thin edges to form 14mm x up to 450mm boards. The table saw doesn't leave a smooth edge and while you can get one side reasonably flat the other side always has some peaks and troughs that need smoothing off. The severe parts here and there can be planed out but then I have been using the belt sander with 40, then 80 then 120 grit to get the wood really flat. I end up with a pretty good product and from a 2.4m piece of wood that cost me £5 and can turn out a 2.4 m piece of 14mm x 22.5mm planed wood that would have cost me four times that at the store. The cost, of course, is my time, and it is the sanding that takes the most of it. I still have a few things left to make and had just started sanding when the old belt sander made strange crunching noises and seized up. I chose Bosch because I have a number of their tools and have found them to perform well. I read the reviews on Amazon and some other sites and chose this model. I have been extremely pleased with this sander. It must run at a higher speed than the old Black and Decker because it takes longer to run down after you let go the trigger (I noticed I had to hold it longer before putting it down). Maybe this is why it does the job so much faster than the old one – maybe two-thirds the time. The bed is flat, which is good. My old sander had a 45 degree section at the heel where the belt returned and it used to do the occasional "wheelie". This one is quite stable. The back handle is designed so it would be easy to hang on a hook or a dowel and it is large enough that it is quite comfortable. There is a version, sold in Germany, that, for an extra price, includes a base that screws onto the top so it can be turned over and clamped to a bench with the belt facing up or vertically for fixed work. You can get the base as an accessory but I read reviews that said it wasn't worth the money. I have found that the sander sits comfortably on its side (the side with the belt release) with the belt safely clearing the bench, but required a thin shim under the curve of the top edge to get it to exactly 90 degrees to the bench. It was easy to use an F clamp (with a thin piece of wood to protect the sander) to hold it firmly on the bench while I used it to finish the cut ends of the boards. It was easy to make it extremely secure and I had no concerns whatsoever about it wobbling and coming loose (with the old sander it was much more complicated to achieve this and it was never as secure). One reviewer said they shouldn't have made the front handle so big but it is attached with a Phillips screw. It only comes with one belt and that belt is for you to use to test the tracking system. Mine was fine right out of the box. But I suppose if for some reason yours wasn't set properly, it is that free belt that gets eaten as you manually adjust the settings (instructions included) rather than one you have supplied. The Silverline belts sold on Amazon fit it fine and are a great deal – order some when you order the sander.
