Achieve Professional-Grade Finishing and Powerful Stock Removal with the Bosch 18V Brushless Random Orbit Sander

The Bosch GEX18V-5N is a high-performance 18V brushless 5-inch random orbit sander engineered to provide woodworkers and finish carpenters with corded-equivalent power in a compact, cordless frame. Designed with a well-balanced, ergonomic palm grip, this sander positions your hand close to the workpiece to eliminate tilting and uneven pressure, ensuring a perfectly flat and smooth finish every time. The powerful brushless motor delivers a high material removal rate, while the variable speed selector (6,000 to 10,000 OPM) allows you to match the oscillation speed to specific materials and applications, from aggressive stripping to delicate final sanding on hardwoods and veneers.

User comfort and workspace cleanliness are at the forefront of the GEX18V-5N design. Featuring a vibration-dampening element and soft-start technology, this sander minimizes user fatigue and startup torque for a more controlled sanding experience. The integrated 8-hole backing pad is optimized for dust collection, whether using the included mobile dust bag or connecting to a professional vacuum system via the integrated interface. Its compact shape and close-to-the-workpiece design make it the ideal tool for reaching tight corners and sanding contoured surfaces. Built to withstand industrial use, this sander provides constant speed under load, ensuring reliable performance across the most demanding finishing tasks.

**Battery and charger sold separately.

Pro-Tip: To achieve a glass-smooth finish without "pigtail" swirl marks, always start the sander while it is resting on the workpiece. Use the speed selector to dial down to 6,000 OPM when working on heat-sensitive materials like plastics or thin veneers to prevent surface burning, and always move the sander with the grain of the wood.
