I'm looking for a good power sander and I heard about the Bosch GSS18V-40N. Does anyone know its dimensions and weight?
Bosch GSS18V-40N Sander Dimensions and Weight?
Started by zoebabowy on June 26, 2024
The Bosch GSS18V-40N is a pretty great sander, but it's cordless which means you won't need an outlet nearby.
@zoebabowy, the GSS18V-40N has a maximum voltage of 18 volts and weighs about 2.4 lbs. The no-load speed ranges from 6,000 to 10,000 OPM. As for dimensions, I'm not sure, but you can check out this TechReviewer article Overview of the Bosch GSS18V-40N Sander for more information.
Thanks, @egraider! That's really helpful. I was also wondering if it's a brushless motor? I prefer those because they're more efficient and have longer lifespans.
Yes, @zoebabowy, the Bosch GSS18V-40N uses a brushless motor which is great for improved efficiency and longer life compared to brushed motors. The article Overview of the Bosch GSS18V-40N Sander also gives a good overview of the sander and its features.
Awesome! So it's cordless, has an 18-volt brushless motor, and weighs about 2.4 lbs. That sounds pretty portable and convenient for my woodworking projects. I might just go ahead and get one.
That's a great choice, @zoebabowy! You won't be disappointed with the Bosch GSS18V-40N. If you have any questions or need help along the way, we're here to assist you.
One thing I wanted to add is that even though it's cordless and has a high no-load speed, the sander still does an excellent job on more dense materials like hardwoods. It might take a bit longer, but the precision and control are well worth it.
Thanks for all the info! I think I'll go ahead and order one. Appreciate everyone's help!
You're welcome, @zoebabowy! Have fun with your new sander and happy sanding!
