Bosch orbital sander

asop

OK - My Mod.DVS 3727, 6" finally bit the dust so to speak. Only had it 20 years! It was made in Switzerland I believe. Where are they made now? Anyone know anything about the 5" 3725 DEVS? Looks like it has a plastic dust collector. Thanks

Most of the time it's just the bushing have wore out. A real cheap part that you can get at any electric motor repair shop. They are #811 in that schematic

I have the 5" Bosch ROS10, orbital with the stick and loop sandpaper.

works good....made in Malaysia, i think i paid $59.00 for it.

Looks like Bosch is in Mt. Prospect, Illinois

The filter thing doesn't trap much dust as you have to line up the

holes in the sandpaper to the pad, no wonder the pad has 8 holes and

i've been buying 5 hole sandpaper[:0]

I had bought the previous orbital from Harbor Freight for $17 and

ran it so hard the orbital thing wobbles, and the motor gets real

hot. I'm happy with my Bosch, the filter thing is ok.

I had a circular saw quit. I tore it down and one of the brushes was bound cock-eyed in the sleeve. I wasn't making any contact. I squared it up with a little sandpaper and its still going. Id look into why it quit myself. If it was made in Switzerland, its got to be better than what you'd buy today.

I now buy all my orbits pre-sanded. Saves time.
