madman_us Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 great short vid chris so you got the ROS65VCL. man thats so awesome. $215 is a steal for that tool.i have the smaller brother; the ROS20VSK and its awesome.but i can imagine how the ros65 will perfom with the vibration control and front handle.cord is 12 ft. - so pretty darn long. and i thought the cord from my JS572EBL is long with 8 ft.

BK13 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Nice vid, man, but two words: landscape mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 First video ever BK. I have a LOT to learn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 im thinking about getting the half-sheet sander from Bosch; OS50VC because its on sale like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 That would be a really sweet sander for the finish work but even on recon it's like 300! This coming from the Festool Snob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 $215 like yours or $260 for the half-sheet sander....they is almost no difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 First video ever BK. I have a LOT to learn!I didn't say it was bad, just giving (hopefully) helpful advise. I'd rather see sanders on the screen rather than bars on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks BK I held the phone upright, good info there for future videos. Also Madman, totally agree on the price, different uses though. That is a definite future purchase for me. Perfect for high end finish work on that guy!

DR99 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Bosch probably makes the best mass market sanders. I know you have Festool and Mirka, but they are at a whole other level. The other companies don't really come close. I have the Makita cordless bare sander but no batteries or chargers to use it. Congrats on your first video Chrisk! Also nice purchase!

regopit Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Congrats on your Bosch. Just be careful when you go to hook up your Festool dust extractor you may cause a disturbance in the force. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Congrats on your Bosch. Just be careful when you go to hook up your Festool dust extractor you may cause a disturbance in the force.Yeah the poor girl is getting dirty looks from my RO90. This sander is really big. Really powerful. Made in Sweden. Has an unbelievable chassis that is completely suspended. I will be using this all weekend and am pretty stoke. Great video bro u did awesome I wouldve been nervous and studdering threw the whole video lol and a big congrats on ur new toy man that sanders a beuty!Thanks Mike! BK is dead on, gotta put the camera in landscape mode for my next video. I am a little bit "backwards" on doing these though and am not sure if I like it. I'll try it again, maybe when I'm doing the work shop update as opposed to taking photos. Still a train wreck we've been getting so much snow in the last four weeks (5 feet and it'll be 6 by mid or ing tomorrow) doing snow removal, clean up, work in the big bedroom etc. that I haven't been doing much of anything in the shop.

Bigmikez Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Wow Chris that's freakin crazy bro 5-6 feet of snow! How Do u still go to work like that? Never been around that much snow so it's just crazy to me that u guys get hit with so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 ya 6' of snow is not a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Work is interesting Mike. 450 hp. No snow tires (we use all seasons....they suck), rear wheel drive, about five inches of ground clearance. It's really really really really really fun. We've had 23 guys hit this winter in their cruisers. That's the most ever.Also, here is my RO65VC in action!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 for that comes the ros in handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Chris, great review/unboxing man!! Plenty of time for little improvements.. the cool thing is that you just did it! I've thought a lot about about doing little videos but worry too much about making them perfect that I've never actually done one.. I've gotta just jump in one day Why in the world don't they give you guys snow tires?!?!?! That's crazy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Money dude. Money. They did just buy like 8 all wheel drive cars so maybe they will flip the fleet over but my car will probably retire with me in 3-1/2 years. My baby is still sweet n new!Also thanks for that. I've been really hesitant to do a video and truthfully I still am. I don't know any of the technical stuff, don't have a mic and truthfully it's a paint to hold the phone and shoot while running the tool. And man my voice sounds weird hearing it drone on back at me.

Bigmikez Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Very nice that floor is coming out clean Chris I know ur super happy that u picked that sander! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel L. Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 im thinking about getting the half-sheet sander from Bosch; OS50VC because its on sale like yours. Am I the only one who despises sheet sanders because they seem to tear through sanding sheets and ruin the paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 why u think that way? i never read anything like that in reviews or heard about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Great videos Chris, it's funny that's not at all what I woud have guessed your voice to sound like. I dontknowmaybe a little more German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks Chad.....on occasion while cutting through wood like "buttah" I scream out...."Get into da choppa if you want to live!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel L. Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 why u think that way? i never read anything like that in reviews or heard about it I am kind of biased because all 3 sheet sanders I own are poorly made old junk.
