Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this sander come with a battery and charger?
A: No, the Bosch EasyCurvSander 12 is sold without a battery or charger. It is compatible with Bosch’s 12V “Power for ALL” system, so if you already own other Bosch 12V Home & Garden tools, you can use the same batteries and chargers.
Q: What types of surfaces can I sand with this tool?
A: This tool is designed for use on hardwood, softwood, varnished and painted finishes, metal, and even leather. Its independent rotating pads adapt well to both flat panels and intricate, curved, or rounded surfaces, making it suitable for a variety of materials and projects.
Q: Is it effective for larger or flat surfaces?
A: While the tool will work on flat surfaces, its three small sanding pads (each 38mm in diameter) make it best suited for detail work, corners, profiles, or tricky shapes. For sanding large flat surfaces or heavy stock removal, a traditional orbital or belt sander would be more efficient.
Q: What accessories are included in the box?
A: In the box, you’ll find the cordless sander body, a dust extraction adaptor for connecting to a vacuum, and nine sanding nets in three different grits (80, 180, 320). No battery, charger, or carrying case are included, so those must be purchased separately if needed.
Q: How does dust extraction work with this sander?
A: The included dust extraction adaptor fits a variety of vacuum hoses, allowing you to connect the sander directly to a dust extractor or shop vac. This feature significantly reduces airborne dust, creating a cleaner workspace and better air quality, especially during indoor use.
Q: Can I use third-party sanding pads or discs?
A: The sander is designed to work with Bosch’s specific 38mm sanding nets for optimal fit and performance. While other 38mm pads may physically attach, using non-genuine accessories could affect results or dust extraction efficiency. Always check compatibility before purchasing alternative consumables.
