After a lot of research on the current offerings of sanders, I decided that my new work horse sander would be the Bosch 1250DEVS. However, the best price that I could find in Canada was $365. The very same sander is being sold in the US at $230. Go figure. I have no idea how the difference in price is justified.
Anyway, as we are planning a week trip to Minneapolis between Christmas and New Year, I decided to pick one up while travelling. However...I still needed a sander right away as both my main sander and the stand-by had packed it in. So I picked up this Bosch ROS10, and for $79 its a great little sander. Little vibration, easy to control, good dust collection via either the little filter or hook up to a shop-vac. If you need an affordable sander, I have no hessitation in recommending this one, but go for the ROS20 variable speed if its your only sander. Same unit, but variable speed.
