Our take on the Bosch 5" Palm Random Orbit Sander / Polisher

The Bosch ROS20VSC is a 5-inch corded random orbit sander and polisher aimed at woodworkers and finish carpenters. Its pad dampening brake system is designed to stop swirl marks, and the pliable microcellular backing pad follows flat and contoured surfaces. Variable speed runs from 7,500 to 12,000 OPM, and an on-board filter captures fine dust. Against rivals, it is a mid-size corded sander with strong dust control and low vibration rather than a compact detail tool.

Owners rate it highly and praise smooth, swirl-free finishes and low vibration for a corded sander. Dust collection and the soft grip get frequent mention. Some find the dust canister fills quickly and the body heavy for overhead work.

About the Bosch 5" Palm Random Orbit Sander / Polisher

The Bosch ROS20VSC is a 5-inch random orbit sander and polisher for removing material quickly and leaving a smooth, blended finish. An integral pad dampening brake system helps prevent swirl marks on the workpiece.

The Hook-Tight hook-and-loop disc attachment has over 35,000 long-life hooks, up to twice the standard number, to hold the disc firmly during use. The microcellular backing pad is pliable, so it sands flat and contoured surfaces smoothly.

Variable-speed control adjusts from 7,500 to 12,000 OPM to match the speed to the task. The top and body have a soft grip, and the tool runs with low vibration. An on-board system filters fine dust.

Questions and answers

Does it really prevent swirl marks?
The pad dampening brake slows the pad as it stops, which is the main defense against swirl marks. Paired with the right grit sequence, owners report clean finishes.
Can I hook it to a shop vacuum?
Yes. A vacuum hose adapter is included, so you can run it to a vac instead of the on-board canister.
What discs does it take?
It uses 5-inch hook-and-loop discs. The Hook-Tight attachment has a dense hook pattern for a firm grip.
Is it good for polishing as well as sanding?
Bosch lists it as a sander/polisher, and the variable speed helps for finishing work. For heavy polishing, a dedicated polisher with a larger pad is usually better.
What comes in the box?
The sander, a sanding disc, a vacuum hose adapter and a carrying bag.
Is it better than a compact detail sander?
It removes material faster and covers more area. A detail sander still wins for corners and narrow spots.
