Re: Ryobi random orbital sander comments.

My personal experience, I try to stay away from Ryobi brand now. Most of my power tools all started with that brand. It doesn't have enough power and it doesn't last long.

Salamat po sa advised, anyway I'm shooting for the Bosch random orbital sander its on sale right now.

Re: Ryobi random orbital sander comments.

I started with this Ryobi sander:

After about a year of infrequent use, it stopped spinning. The motor runs but, after opening it up, found that the gears broke. By that time I have already bough t boxes of 6-inch velcro-backed sandpaper of different grits. So that my sandpaper investment won't go to waste, I got another one, the new green version:

I have it for over a year now and it's still working. I don't run it at full speed, something I learned in this forum about Ryobi's. They're meant to run on 50Hz but, because our outlets supply 60Hz, you end up runnign the motor 20% faster. Throttling down the speed seems to prolong the life of the sander.

Today, I also have the Bosch sander:

This is a gem. It's light, quiet, and really traps the dust. Your decision to get the Bosch is a good one.

Make sure you get lots of sandpaper. I got mine from Amazon. But, I think, Mirkas are locally avaiable. Ask Bosch as they once invited the suppliers in a training session we had with them.
