A:  Yes

A:  I don’t know if you wrote your question incorrectly? My sander came brand news and works like a champ. The thing is built like a tank. Did you order a refurbished one? The only complaint I have with this sander is that you spend a bunch of money on it and it doesn’t come with a carrying case? If you had a problem with this product I would contact Home Depot directly. They usually do a great job.

A:  If someone gets a used sander I wouldn't know, but Home Depot will always take care of their customers. Never have I gotten treated badly by Home Depot.

A:  Yes. Solid. Works every time. So far I’ve been through 200 half sheets. Love the feature.

A:  I bought my Bosch sander a year ago and have used it two to three days per week for roughly a couple of hours per day. The sand paper clamp system is exceptionally strong, works perfectly, and it's very easy to change papers. I'm a retiree and for several years have been remodeling an old house. The most challenging project was making the kitchen countertops and a bar from Red Oak. Although the most efficient and effective machine for sanding this wood is a drum sander, I don't have the space for one in my garage nor did I want to spend that much money on a machine for this probable one-time project. Therefore initially I relied on my palm sander and belt sander. The former wouldn't remove material fast enough and it left deep swril marks in the wood which were tough to remove. The belt sander removes a lot of material quickly and even though I'm very good with it, once in a while I'd gouge the wood again making for more work. Both sanders generated lots of dust. This Bosch sander is the perfect medium between the palm and belt sanders. The Bosch sanding surface is just a large as a belt sander hence removes material almost as quickly as a belt sander but far more gently with no gouging. And even though it's an orbital sander like the palm sander, the swril marks it leaves with 60 and 80 grit paper are vastly less noticeable and easily removed by using 220 or 320 grit paper (on the Bosch sander, not hand-sanding). Other pluses: this Bosch sander has a nice long cord (10' I believe), the dust extraction/collection system is superb, vibration rate is very low, and it has a variable speed control. I've never been more pleased with a power tool purchase. It's well worth $300.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. The OS50VC Orbital Sander has the sheet lock and utilizes a heavy metal clamp system that will withstand routine use. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

A:  No this is not heavy metal. Clamp appears to have a lever action which bring the paper to tension. What gets rid of the vibration is that the moving parts are light weight. This sander moves the paper real fast. So there is a combination of weight and balance going on here. I have not used mine enough to know if there are situations where the paper will get shifted or tear because it was not held securely. This is a nice tool for your shop.

A:  I don't know but as I recall I bought mine in late 2016. It's a great sander, worth every penny.

A:  dust collector and paper perforator I always use shop vac other wise would take too much time to keep cleaning filter

A:  In my box was the sander, filter cartridge, punch, vacuum hose adapters, (1) piece of sandpaper with vacuum holes, manual and warrantee.

A:  Off hand I recall a dust collection cartridge which works superbly, a plastic plate with punch spikes for dust collection ports in sandpaper, a 120 grit pre-punched sheet of sandpaper, owners manual. Unfortunately the interior padding for the sander was only a card board separator but the unit wasn't damaged on arrival.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. The OS50VC Orbital Sander does not come with any case. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from M-F 7a-7p CST.

A:  Only the dust collection bag (well built hardware) and 1 sheet of high end sandpaper. The front handle is left off because sometimes folks use it without.

A:  No case.

A:  No it didn't with mine. Just a sandpaper sheet punch plate and one sheet of sandpaper. While some tools come with a case, sometimes it just holds the tool and wrenches maybe. I find it's easier to find a storage box or a tool box that will fit the tool and the accessories that go with it so it's all together. You would think that spending this much money on this tool, that the company would do a nice case. I guess it would too expensive and might stop guys from buying the tool.

A:  No, there is not a case included.

A:  No.

A:  No.
