Had mine only 5 months, only used for light work a handful of times and it just stopped dead, checked fuse which was good, no obvious signs of damage to brushes or anything internal! Bosch measuring instruments - tools for professionals and DIY‘ers, which help to get flat surfaces, measure distances, angles and slopes, and to find hidden objects. I have used the small wood saw attachment to cut through the skirting boards in my house (I was installing some built in robes) and through the cornice as well.

I would like a Fein Multimaster as they seem to have a few more attachable toys, but as I am only using it on my own house and not working with it as a tradie or anything I just can't justify it still. I cannot understand why they have stopped working as I follow the instructions, I have not burnt the motors out. Using the Apex sanding pad showed a weakness in the tool - if you don't use it flat on the surface of whatever it is you are sanding, the sanding pad will heat up and soften - destroying its velcro backing rapidly. The tool stopped working within a couple of minutes, so I switched the mains suppy off and left it for a few minutes. In conclusion, the Bosch PMF 180 E grinder is a well-built and practical power tool that provides users with the necessary power and control to tackle a range of tasks effectively and efficiently.Prior to fitting the brushes make sure that the commutator on the armature is smooth and that there are no bars missing. Its suited to vertical cuts to remove sections of skirtingboards or the bottom of trims, architraves etc.

What you say is all great, but i have been in both seats, had the Bosch machine and it was slow noisy and has limitations, and vibrated apart more than once whilst i was doing some heavy sanding on windows. Operating on an input power of 180 watts, the Bosch PMF 180 E grinder derives its power from an AC source, offering convenience and versatility in various work environments.

Have to say I'm not impressed, it's an expensive tool to be throwing out after using just 6 times but I think that is where it is heading. THIS PAD HAS NOW SUPERSEDED TO A STARLOCK PAD - FOR NON-STARLOCK PAD USE 2609002737** 93mm sanding pad for use with Bosch, Makita and Fein multi-tools.

Nevertheless, based on the provided specifications, it can be inferred that this grinder delivers sufficient power and performance for a variety of cutting, grinding, and sanding tasks. I guess I should be okay as I am only doing smaller projects and don't imagine I will use it all the time, just for small jobs when necessary. Whatever the cause though it really needs to be fixed as it renders the sanding function virtually useless due to cost. My guess is that the paper stalls on the work but the head keeps vibrating which tears the fuzz off the back of the paper. The result of that was that I had to use the apex sanding attachment to get some of the mitres to join correctly and that was a somewhat laborious process.This information does not usually identify you, but it does help companies to learn how their users are interacting with the site. Blue Bosch (Bosch Professional) line – these are professional tools, which meets the highest power, precision and durability requirements. Having seen some other online reviews, like on this webpage, indicates possibly (in my opinion) either a poorly designed circuit or there is a poor quality component on it. I would recommend using ear plugs or ear muffs when your cutting though as it is a little loud, although it can be tolerated without for periods of time.

He established a hospital, was first businessman, who started to use 8 hour shift rule in his factories and made a lot more to make everyones life better. When it comes to cutting it can’t be beaten, I love the 25mm flat cutter as it’s perfect for producing a thin kerf cut in floorboards so that they can be lifted cleanly.I’m actually considering glueing old sheets onto a knackered pad to see if that gives a better result – I suspect it will. I found this review not helpful because using it to cut the bottom of many, many metres of skirting boards is optimistic at best!
