Thanks for sharing! The power rating seems impressive. Has anyone tried using this sander for wood carving?

I have used the Bosch GSS18V-40N for wood carving, and it worked pretty well for me. It's a cordless sander, which provides great mobility. The 1/4 sheet sandpaper is perfect for detailed work too.

That's good to know! I'm also curious about the dust collection feature on this model.

Yeah, I'd like to know more about that as well.

The dust collection system on the GSS18V-40N is pretty effective. It helps keep your work area clean and prevents any dust buildup during sanding.

I've been using this sander for a few months now, and it's perfect for my woodworking projects. The no-load speed is quite impressive, and the brushless motor makes it very efficient.

That sounds great! How does it handle more intricate details?

It handles intricate details pretty well. The palm grip design gives you good control, so you can easily reach tight corners and small areas.

Nice, thanks for sharing your experience! I think I might give this one a try.

That's awesome! Let me know how it works out for you.
