Reviews for Bosch 1274DVS 6.6 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Variable Speed In-Line Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag:
Sands as expected: fast and easy to control. Dust collection works ok. Needed to blow the system out with compressed air to clear a blockage,once in 2 hours of sanding. I order the Bosch SA1051 Sanding Frame to go along with this purchase. Unfortunately the seller of the frame,MaxTool,not only did not have item in stock (even though they clearly specified they did have) they were not able to get one within a two week period after my order. I canceled this order.
I bought the 1274DVS with the idea of sanding some oak floors for refinishing. So while I've dropped that approach as too time consuming I DID push the daylights out of the sander.
It has worked extremely well in terms of its primary purpose - that of removing stock. However,there are several design issues that could be improved upon.
1 The dust bag is both in the way AND ineffective. It also requires a screwdriver to remove (unless you want it falling off all the time). So if you get one find a flexible hose that will attach to the dust outlet and a shop vac. That is not as easy as it sounds.
2 The power cord - which is stiffened to protect it - exits directly to the rear thus reducing how far one could move the sander back in close quarters. Not an issue if you are sanding something on sawhorses.
3 The front handle should flip up (like its larger sibling). Its comfortable enough to use but I finally just took it off.
The sanding has been pushed for long periods and I have had no belt issues - with tracking etc. I did toss all my older belts as they seemed to want to come apart due to the heat generated. Handling the sander is easy with a good grip and even with the front handle off.
There is a lot of noise and dust so wear protection - mask or respirator,hearing protection and leather gloves.
Hope this helps!
I have been generally happy with the purchase of this belt sander. I've found the variable speed to be a nice feature and power is not lacking. The base plate is not cast aluminum but the graphite platten plate appears to work fine at reducing heat buildup so I'm not too worried about warping.
The cloth bag is not as shown in the photos,viewing the parts diagram for this sander on the Bosch web page explains the change. The dust collection works well provided the duct remains clean (mine packed full within a few minutes of sanding pine at 50-grit) I had to completely take apart the sander to clean out the duct but it appears to work well now.
My first project with this tool was ~64 sq.ft. of peeling deck planks. I broke or shredded 3 belts in the process and the handle got very hot. By the end the graphite pad had worn badly and also left a number of black marks on my decking. My old Dewalt 430 had none of these problems on the same type of decking.
Also the sander doesn't seem wide enough. A new belt sticks out about 1/8" over the side and tracking adjustments don't help. Maybe this is why belts fail so fast. If I had bought this at Lowes I would already have taken it back.
On the positive side it is light and compact and the dust collection works well. It's just not up to the abuse I need to be able to give a sander.
I bought this sander from Amazon several months ago,and I've sure given it a good workout since I've had it. It tracks very well,and is powerful enough for even the toughest jobs. Changing the belt is far easier than most models....a big plus. This is the first Bosch tool I've owner,and it has made me a believer in the brand. The tool is exceptionally well constructed,and built to last. I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase.
