- Bosch belt sander. The Bosch PBS 75A is my latest tool purchase. Planning on using this to help me build some new stairs and refurbish some old ones.
I wanted power and performance for a good price. Have I found it? Time will tell. Today a first look and unboxing.
*Works really **MyBest.Tools** well, and fits hand perfectly.*
Totally agree. Hard to beat for the price. It’s done a lot of work for me already. Feels like it has already paid for itself.
Thanks mate!
hey, probably you worked a lot with this already. i am in front of buying it too, do i need the one with adjustable speed? have you ever felt like you should bought the AE version instead? thx
Hey @Sam , Adjustable speed might really depend on your specific need. I haven't felt I needed adjustable speed in any of the work I've done so far. As for the AE question. Well that I feel really comes down to how much you will use the machine. The Bosch Blue (Professional) VS Green (Consumer) question I think is important if you are NOT a diy'er. Blue gear is always listed as suitable for heavy-duty use. I tend to think of 'heavy-duty' to really mean daily professional use. If I was making money with my tools, then I would probably go with the Bosch Blue tools. But even then I think if you need a tool even for professional use but you won't use it that often, then I'd still go for green. I hope this helps. Of course it's just my opinion and that's based on my DIY projects. I'm very happy with all the 'Green' tools I have.
Anyone have any difficulties with the tracking screw plate becoming loose and screw seems not to do anything?
Sorry to hear you’ve had that kind of issue. For me it’s been rock solid. I hope that doesn’t develop my mine. Good luck in finding a fix.
Sure it’s a simple fix. Had a fiddle with it today (the sander!) and seems a but better.
@@danhowarth-roffe2499 what did you do to fix it?
@@tomkennedy3695 actually turned it out a fraction so it wasn’t touching the moving part.. although, not sure if I’ve fixed it or it’s just going to rattle out. On the first machine, I took it back as lost the screw completely! But of a crap design fault.. Otherwise a good tool.
@@danhowarth-roffe2499 thanks mate👍
Could I use this for shaping knives and removing material from steel
Hmm.. interesting idea. It will certainly work to remove material from metal. But that’s probably more to do with the type of sanding belts you use. As for sharpening knives... I feel you would be better off with a bench mounted type sander, or probably a better option would be a grinder. Of course it might be possible to mount the sander upside down on a bench. But if you have lots of sharpening to do, then I think a bench grinder would be best.
Good luck!
Yes, one of my favourite uses is to sharpen wood chisels so if you are careful then it should be
possible to sharpen a knife.with a fine grit belt. Removing rust from steel is fine but the life of the sanding belt will
be shortened.
Thanks for this tip. I’ve got some wood chisels that need some love. I’ll try the belt sander on them.
@@PaulWarrenEaton If you can find the accessories included in the 'AE' model that might help, there's a few little things exactly for this purpose.
hey can u do a video how to change teh belt please
Nice idea. Yeah I can try do one this week. Should be quick to do. Nearly as quick as changing the belt.
@@PaulWarrenEaton thanks that would be great cause my sander spins for a bit but stops and the belt is in great shape. so just wanted to know if I am doing something wrong when I put it back together.
@@mikester1963 here you go. ruclips.net/video/LfDr6mjZ4dc/видео.html Hope it helps.
Only other two ideas that come to mind. Try to blow/knock/vacuum the dust out with the belt removed. And also make sure you line up the arrows. If you still have issues, then try another belt.
I hope it works for you.
Would this be good to use on wooden floorboards?
Yes it can work on floorboards, however it’s not really designed for floors. Of course it will work but you will have trouble getting into corners and it’s hard work on hands and knees for a long time if you have a large floor. If you really need to take some layers off the top of a floor, it might be best to hire a floor sander.
WORKS SUPER I JUST SANDED A PINE BOARD FLOOR THAT HAD 1 COATS OF STAIN AND 3 COATS OF VARETHANE WORK OUT AWESOME
Good to read. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad to read this because I just bought it to sand my floors haha. I have one coat of soot hahaha. An old floor that is
I have this one. It's great but a little loud.
I’ve never noticed as I’ve always got my ear protection on. But yeah it makes noise for sure!
@@PaulWarrenEaton just noticable louder than the 800w ryobi I had. The ryobi was a beast but the lack of auto tracking was a deal breaker. Got a refund and got the bosch.
Good to know based of your experience I got the better unit. Thanks for sharing!
Is it still works for now? Please give me an answer before I buy
Absolutely still works. Still going strong. 💪
@@PaulWarrenEaton the only reason I want to buy this is for balancing wood after gluing it for cutting boards.... Thank you
Этой модели 10 лет, даже больше. В гараже у меня пылится.
Yep. It can also collect dust that way also. 🤣 Also true it’s not a new model. But I’m still happy with it.
@@PaulWarrenEaton wow) I didn't expect a response from the comment in Russian)
