What is the difference between the two modes?

Random-orbit mode orbits and rotates the pad for a blended, swirl-free finish. Turbo mode is a direct-drive eccentric orbit that Bosch rates at three times the removal rate of standard random-orbit action, for stripping and leveling.

Does it come with a vacuum hose or sanding discs?

The tool ships with its pad and handles; a vacuum hose and abrasives are separate. You need a hose that fits the dust port to get the most from the dust collection.

What size sanding discs does it take?

It uses 6-inch hook-and-loop discs with a multihole pattern. The enhanced multihole pad accepts a wide variety of abrasive discs.

Is it too aggressive for finish sanding?

No. Switch to random-orbit mode for fine work; the pad-dampening brake and soft backing pad help prevent swirl marks. Save turbo mode for stock removal.

How does it compare with a 5-inch random orbit sander?

It covers more area per pass and its turbo mode removes stock far faster, but it is heavier and bulkier, so a compact 5-inch sander is easier for overhead and detail work.

Can the side handle go on either side?

Yes. The auxiliary handle mounts on either side of the sander, so you can set it up for left- or right-handed control.

About the Bosch GET75-6N 6" Dual-Mode Random Orbit Sander

The Bosch GET75-6N is a 6-inch dual-mode random orbit sander. It switches between a standard random-orbit mode and a direct-drive, eccentric-orbit turbo mode. Standard mode is for normal stock removal and fine finishing. Turbo mode removes stock at 3x the rate of standard mode, as an alternative to a belt sander.

The die-cast aluminum gear housing has a dual-bearing pad mount that lessens wobble and vibration. An integral pad-dampening system helps prevent swirl marks. The soft microcellular hook-and-loop backing pad and multihole pad system work with a wide variety of abrasive discs. Constant speed helps maintain speed under load.

The slim, tapered top grip has a soft-grip design to help ease hand fatigue. The auxiliary handle mounts on either side of the tool. A removable pad guard helps keep the pad from touching surfaces in front of or alongside the workpiece. The built-in dust port and large channels in the pads pull debris through to a vacuum. An extension dust tube and VAC024 Vacuum Hose Adapter connect to 35mm, 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch hoses.
