which detail sander .........

[mark king]

......would you suggest.

I like Bosch as a manufacturer and would prefer to go battery driven for ease of use. I would also want it to be a hook & loop system too for pad replacement.

anyone know if there are any good offers on that might swing me onto them???


Thanks

... Bosch ...battery... hook & loop...

Something like this from Axminster perhaps?

It's on a cable - but like Nick, I've been very impressed by the Fein Multimaster.

Fein Multimaster - no question (I do have one)

I have the multimaster, but the OP requested batteries and Bosch... :roll:

Do you mean the standard triangular pads that come with the saw or the extra sanding accessory set? While I agree 100% that the triangular pads are the bees knees - as is the Fein in general - but have to say I was underwhelmed by the sanding accessory set. Fiddly to use. Paper kept slipping out.

It's mains powered but have you considered the Bosch PMF180E multi-tool - it has a detail sander fitting but can also be used with saw blade attachments for flush sawing.

I must admit I would be interested to hear what the little profile sanding addition to the Fein is like - is this what you are talking about? It seems to take normal sanding paper folded over a profile and clamped to secure. I would use it for sanding in between architrave and the like. Anyone have any ideas?

Jonesy - the fein is the original PMF180E gadget. It is the same sort of thing but a bit better (lets see what that does!! :wink: )

Thanks all
