I currently own a Craftsman detail sander with a head shaped like a triangle that barely vibrates. Will the Bosch do a better job sanding?

The Bosch does an excellent job detail sanding. It has true orbital action, although I found you still need to sand in the direction of the grain. It's a good quality tool, but the sandpaper that comes with it sucks.

I don't know anything about the Craftsman sander, so I can't really compare them. I use the Bosch a lot, primarily with the long narrow finger sander and it does a good job.

Yes it almost certainly will. It vibrates strongly. My first one stopped working because of exposure to a lot of rain, but i bought a second one because i liked it that much. Some people complain that it's hard to find replacement sanding pieces, but all you do is find any with a velcro backing and cut it to the right shape

absolutely. Much more power and it leaves none of the marks other sanders like this. It's a real nice tool. Good luck

They look like the same machine. Make sure your drive belt is tight before you use this. I chewed up a belt, bought a replacement, then a year later chewed up another one. I'm hard on my sander, I use it almost every day.

probably not this is more of a polisher than a sander I have done many floors and I usualy get the rental belt sander and orbital sander for the sanding and leveling then you will need an edge sander to get up to the trim wear a mask and I reccomend a tyvec suit, it gets rough with old finish

The Bosch is a great tool but I only use it for door jams when installing a floor (hardwood) and such small jobs. I wouldn't recommend using it for a large project such as the one you referred to.

I would say it really depends on how many feet of base board you plan to sand. If it is only a few feet, yes . However, I would get a more heavy duty sander if it is a bigger job,

Sure. But I recommend the Bosch hammer drill over this and I have them both.

I have never used the Bosch< but popular Mechanics Rated it the same as the Fein. I have used the dremel, sonicrafter, Ridgid Cordless, and craftsman from coworkers. The Fein is the Best by far. After I bought my Fein, the guys I work with purchased it as well. I would definitely not recommend going cordless. The batteries have limited lifespan, and the tools are nowhere near as powerful. I am a contractor, and this tool is brought out on almost every job. It is definitely worth buying, so just go straight ahead and get the fein. you will not regret it once you try the competition

Yes, this is a wonderful sander and should work great. Also you can use sandpaper from other models if choose.

The sander does not operate in a circular motion...for that you would want to consider a Random Orbital Sander

I do. Just about any P100 would be good for sanding. I use this one for any woodworking I do. I've also used it when mowing on high pollen days. It works fine for me.

It takes 5 inch 8 hole sanding disks. The pad they attach to is kind of a soft pad with velcro. When I first received the sander it had a faulty pad and would only sand on the very outer edge leaving circles in the wood. I contacted Bosch and they sent me a new one. It works great now.

Yes, Just remember it is a square sander and the sanding dust will blow all over. I love this finishing sander. Deoes everything I ask it to do.

No. Would not work for sanding wood. This tool is a light weight. I was very disappointed in it.

Very close but i don't think so, the top of the porter cable is flat the bosch differs slightly.

I went with the DeWalt because I have many other DeWalt tools and on the rare occasion I had a problem it was resolved quickly and to my satisfaction. I do not think the DeWalt is better than the Bosch. I think either one will perform well. Either way there is no bad choice here. JJP

maybe but i would go for the round orbital sander, the one for velcro discs. few dollars and a huge diference. sheet sanders are going obsolete and soon to be extinted, they also leave "curls" on the sanded surface.

No! It is just a dust collector. You will need some flex hose and hose clamps to connect it to your tools. You should be able to connect to your sander without any reducers.
