Bosch ROS20VSC 5 Inch Variable Speed Random Orbit Sander

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP ROS20VSC is a 5-inch palm-style random orbit sander designed for finish sanding on wood, metal, and composite surfaces. It runs at variable speeds from 7,500 to 12,000 orbits per minute (OPM), letting the operator match speed to the material and task. The integral pad dampening braking system slows the pad on contact and on release, reducing swirl marks that are common with fixed-speed sanders. A microcellular backing pad supports consistent abrasive contact for smooth, fine surface finishes. Licensed tradespeople and skilled finish carpenters rely on this tool for surface prep work where scratch patterns and swirl control matter.

The ROS20VSC is suited for residential and light commercial finish work including furniture, cabinetry, trim, and painted surfaces. The onboard microfilter dust canister captures fine sanding dust at the source, making it appropriate for enclosed spaces and finished interiors where cleanup and air quality are concerns. The soft-grip top body supports extended overhead or vertical use. The tool ships with a soft sanding pad, dampening ring, microfilter dust canister, vacuum hose adapter, and a sanding disc carrying bag, covering a typical initial setup for most finish applications.
