: I love Bosch tools. I have a Bosch belt sander.

: I used to use a plain-jane DeWalt 5" ROS. It died a slow death
: after 3 years. It did have a rough life and helped build the
: house (all the maple cabinets) and 4 kayaks.

: The price of the Festool RO125 was a bit tough to justify to my
: wife. She came around after I bought it. Just in labor savings
: alone, it paid for itself after one boat. Now I just need to
: save the coin for a Festool vac system. They are SO quiet!

Dust blower outside the shop is quieter yet :)
