Amazon.com Review

Designed for tradesmen and serious woodworkers, this sturdy detail sander kit features Bosch’s revolutionary micro-filter dust canister for cleaner material, happier sanding, and healthier lungs. A true random orbit finishing motion--not an arc or pivot-- delivers precise, even finishing in corners and tight spaces with no swirls. An ergonomic soft-grip handle and low-vibration design ensures smooth running and optimal comfort. A three-position pad extends paper and pad life for fewer changes and less downtime. Vibrating at 13,000 to 19,000 orbits per minute, this double-insulated sander ensures fast, smooth results on all surfaces. Great for reconditioning trim without making a mess of the drywall, the sander comes with an array of sheet extenders for easily reaching into fine groove details, nooks, and contours for clean, smooth surfaces ready for paint or stain. A handy dial selection lets you choose 6 different speeds for sanding a wide variety of materials. Unlike many sanding pads that wear unevenly, rendering sheets useless when most of the grit is still there, this detail sander’s triangular pads turn a full 120 degrees to utilize the whole sheet. Hook-and-loop attachment makes it easy to attach and detach grits through each stage of the sanding process without ruining sheets. The purchase is covered by a Bosch, limited 1-year warranty. What’s in the Box
20 sanding sheets, polishing pad, extension plate, 2 narrow extensions (flat/oval), plastic case


  • 2.3 amps and 13,000 to 19,000 OPM ensures fast, smooth results on all surfaces
  • True finishing sander motion with no arcing or pivoting; tool-free pad changes
  • Ergonomic soft-grip top designed for comfort
  • Includes 20 sanding sheets, polishing pad, extension plate, 2 narrow extensions (flat/oval), plastic case

5.0 out of 5 stars great detail sanding, August 14, 2004
This review is from: Bosch 1294VSK 2.3 Amp Corner Detail Sander Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
excellent design, solid construction, and good features.

i purchased this deatil sander (+ a 5" ro sander) to recondition the woodwork in our home (trim, casing, doors, closets, etc). the sander easily handled the trim work without destroying the drywall, the window casing corners and nooks, and even the countoured trim nicely.

some if its good features include:

*) a dial selection of speed settings from 1 - 6.

*) unlike the dremel this unit boasts true random orbit sanding.

*) the main sanding pad is shaped like a triangle and can be reorientated 120 degrees to get full usage of the sanding sheets w/o tearing off the sanding sheets.

*) good selection of sanding sheet extenders.

*) dust port for shop vac attachment.

*) sturdy construction.

i compared this unit to the dremel and felt the dremel was too flimsy, especially where the sanding pad attaches to the main body. the bosch's sanding... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing detail sander!, April 10, 2005
This review is from: Bosch 1294VSK 2.3 Amp Corner Detail Sander Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
We are building a sailboat and had avoided buying a detail sander for three years, because the ones we'd seen had little power and were flimsy. When we needed to get into corners, we used a Dremel tool with a sanding drum. We burned out one Dremel tool, and then went through five of the (returnable) hardware-store brand. One day, a friend brought over her Bosch detail sander and we were astonished. We went out and bought one right away, and several months of hard use later we're still very happy with it. We've worn out the triangle sanding pad (esp. its corners) so we'll be replacing that, but we've been extremely happy with the tool itself. We should have bought one when we started the boat! It's as good as our Porter-Cable random-orbital, and that's saying something!

this little unit is really a gem. The only down side was finding sanding pads ...found the b&d mouse pads fit it though...haha..so i have been using those for the triangle and then cutting the scap to make profile pads...they work great and HD sells them for about 4.50 a box.....enjoy...oh and no issues with unit that others had noted...I used it for stairs, a wood ceiling and a couple pieces of old funiture i wanted to prep for refinish and even using it for 6-7 hours no problems...though i will say i wish it had a dust bag...the hose option is a bit clumsy...

As usual, Amazon was great. Item arrived on time, and return was just as seamless. This sander is certainly a nice tool in the bottom price range, and when working is quiet and works nicely. Mine unfortunatly made a horendous noise the first time it was turned on. Turns out the bottom motor housing which is supposed to be held on by 2 long screws/bolts hand partially fallen out of the bottom of the motor causing the brushes to contact the rotor at an angle. One of the bolts/screws could be tightened, the other was either stripped, or there is a nut on the end you can't get to that needed to be held while tightening.

Pushing the motor housing back into place made the noise go away, and the sander worked "normally", but since the bolt/screw could not be tightened, it would eventually fail again.

If you need a cheap occasional use sander, this one could be good, but I'd recommend taking the bottom off and making sure every screw you can see is not loose. In... Read more

This review is from: Triton TC450SPS 3.5 amp Oscillating Spindle Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)
No reviews here at this time so here is my non-expert opinion. I just got this triton sander from Amazon and everthing was in order. Setup is easy and it works well for my usage, cleaning up curves cut in 3/4" plywood and hardwood. Construction is solid and there is minimal vibration. I will say I found it tricky at first to freehand sand to the curve you want; practise was needed. But that's the user not the machine.
The machine body has pegs and slots to hold the extra spindles (several sizes) and hardware; that's nice. Unfortunately I have no way to compare it to competing machines - but anyway I am satisfied with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Performance and Price, March 15, 2010
This review is from: Triton TC450SPS 3.5 amp Oscillating Spindle Sander (Tools & Home Improvement)
I've been doing woodworking for decades but have never had the need for a spindle sander. Space is at a premium in my small shop, and hence I've always sanded curved edges with a random orbit sander, files, or just plain old sandpaper.

However, I'm now working on a project that has many bandsawn pieces with lots of curves. Using a random orbit sander would be both tedious and awkward, so I decided to get a spindle sander to do the job properly.

I opted for the Triton over the more expensive, more powerful Delta primarily because of size and weight. Due to limited space the sander will be stored in a cabinent and brought out to the benchtop as needed. Benchtop machines are often referred to as "portable", but as you probably know this is quite a flexible term (my Delta planer is advertised as "portable", and it might be if you were an Olympic weight lifter, but not for me). I'm happy to say that the Triton is light enough to be stored fairly easily... Read more
