Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch 1274DVS 6.6 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Variable Speed In-Line Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag

Customer Review: Best belt sander by far.
Summary: 5 Stars

I spent the last few days buying sanders and taking them back (2 actually). One was a porter and cable 3x21. This seems to be a well built sander except the dust collection system is very flawed. I had more dust flying than going into the bag. Then I got the heavy duty DeWalt. This is a heavy brute. I found the top front wheel creates a vibration every so often that the sander seems to hop and create tiger stripes on the work. It also requires a lot of energy bto hold it down. Even tghough the dust collector seems to be one of the best, I found a lot of dust all over the bag. I don't know if the bag fabric's hole is allowing the dust to escape or creating static electricity to attract dust. Even though the bag collects the dust, it seems the sander blows a whole heap of dust around. When in a tight corner and I tip the front to extend the reach, it seems to bite the work. It seems to go through a lot of sanding belts with little to show for it.
Then I bought this baby.. Very light and requires very little effort to hold it on the work (always fighting with the DeWalt). The way this is designed, there seems to be very little dust outside the bag and even then, there are no vent holes to blow it all around. The collection system works great and there is even a little attachment so I can hook up a shop-vap with a small hose. The sanding belts seem to last twice as long as the DeWalt (don't know why this is so). The sanding seems to be far more efficient than the other sanders I tried and returned. The icing on the cake is an accessory to hold the sander like a table sander.

Description of Bosch 1274DVS 6.6 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Variable Speed In-Line Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag

Slim, lightweight design for easy handling. Removable front handle for close quarter work. Efficient dust collection for cleaner work area and longer belt life. Sands flush to edges and to vertical surfaces. Variable speed trigger switch with dial setting
Well-executed design combined with solid, reliable performance make this Bosch belt sander a tool with noticeable performance advantages. The Bosch features a magnesium-and-plastic housing that's lightweight yet durable. The tool is nicely balanced, comfortable, and easy to operate--important features in a tool that's often used for long periods of time for removing large amounts of stock. The Bosch comes with a cast-aluminum platen--so there's none of the warping that affects stamped-steel platens--and it sands perfectly flat right out of the box. Like many of the sanders in this class, the motor on the 1274 is aligned with the belt edge to allow flush sanding into corners. The tool's only drawback is that visibility is limited when sanding into tight corners, but that's a small minus when weighed against all the pluses. The belt-changing system works well--we didn't suffer any spring pinches--and the tracking adjustment tracks the new belt quickly and keeps it in place. There's a variable-speed dial built right into the trigger switch, which makes adjusting the belt speed fast and convenient. Wood magazine tested 10 3-by-21-inch sanders and liked the 1274DVS best. We agree that it's a great tool. --Mark McDonald
