Do your complex renovation projects demand the highest standards with regard to precision, power and comfort? Then the expert random orbit sander from Bosch is the right tool for you: compact design, low weight, outstanding handling and optimal user comfort for controlled sanding and polishing. The secret of the Bosch random orbit sander is its unique combination of rotary and orbital actions, which ensures perfect and scratch-free quality sanding with high-quality polishing performance. These surprisingly versatile sanders differ in two basic ways from the usual orbital sander. First, the base is round and not rectangular (hence the confusion with a polisher) and second, the sanding action is very different. The sanding grit on the Velcro-type sanding discs follows a wild spiral route around the surface you are sanding. The random orbital sander is up to five times faster in removing material than an orbital sander. This is especially noticeable towards the edge of the pad, where the pattern is more energetic. It is also a much more versatile sander, working well on both flat and curved surfaces due to its flexible round backing pad. The finish that can be achieved is very impressive, with its random orbit action it tends to eliminate any tell-tale signs that a power sander was ever used on the project. The Bosch PEX 300 AE comes up with better guidance and manageability than its predecessor, the PEX 270 A/AE, with lower vibration, a more ergonomic design and switch positioning. Bosch has also improved the usability of the PEX 300 AE by moving the handle nearer to the centre of gravity. Even more user comfort is achieved with a more compact size of the tool, being 12 Percent smaller in volume than its predecessor (PEX 300 AE 1850 mm square vs. PEX 270 A/AE 2100 mm square).
