Yes, I've used it on wooden furniture and found it works great for detailed sanding. Check out this article Overview of the Bosch GSS12V-40N Sander for a more detailed review of its specs and features.
The no-load speed is quite impressive at 6,000 to 10,000 OPM, which should make it suitable for fast sanding on wood.
I've used the Bosch GSS12V-40N sander on a few wooden furniture projects and was happy with its performance. It's lightweight and easy to control, making it perfect for detailed work.
That's good to know! Thanks for sharing your experience. What about the dust collection feature? Did you find it helpful?
Yes, the dust collection feature is really useful. It keeps my workspace clean and minimizes the amount of dust inhaled while sanding.
I agree with you guys, this sander is a great tool for woodworking projects. The 1/4 sheet palm grip design provides excellent control and comfort, especially for intricate work.
I'm considering getting one myself for my upcoming project. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best type of sandpaper to use with it?
From what I've read in the article Overview of the Bosch GSS12V-40N Sander, a good starting point is using 80-grit sandpaper for rough cutting and 120-grit for smoother finishes.
That's right, I usually start with 80-grit and then move on to 120-grit or even 220-grit for finer work. It works well for me and gives good results on wooden furniture.
Great advice! The Bosch GSS12V-40N is definitely a reliable tool for any woodworker's toolbox.
Thanks everyone for your input. I think I'll go ahead and get one for myself!
