- Is the Bosch ROS10 good for finish sanding?
- Not really. It runs at one fixed 12,000 OPM, which is fast for fine grits and can leave swirl marks. For finish work, a variable-speed sander is the better fit.
- Does it collect dust?
- No. The ROS10 has no dust canister and no hose port, so dust goes into the air. Wear a mask and sand near ventilation.
- What discs does it take?
- It uses 5-inch hook-and-loop discs on its microcellular backing pad. The pad is a wear part, and owners report replacing it.
- How does it compare with variable-speed 5-inch sanders?
- It matches them on orbit rate and motor size but lacks their speed dial and dust collection. It is simpler and lighter on controls, not on features.
- What is in the box?
- The sander and a set of sanding discs. It does not include a dust bag or hose.
- Is it worth it over a cheaper palm sander?
- The motor and grip are solid for rough work, but the single speed and short warranty count against it. If you need finish sanding or dust control, look at a variable-speed model.
