This new generation Bosch sander will allow many handymen facilitate frequently considered painful and tedious, the GRINDING. One of the big advantages of this machine is its versatility. It is truly "multi support" and may address bands plasterboard, wood and even concrete surfaces. I have not tested it on strips but in view of the results on the other surface, I think that we should not over-emphasize and support too quickly as this may give "relief"; and yes it pumice, pumice and it very well !! The dust collector (it is a recovery and not a vacuum cleaner !!) is good, even if it lets out some; there will be some cleaning to do behind anyway !! The few accessories provided are very helpful and give good results; I do not say that as in the description are "many" because some are missing, and it will seriously put their hands in their pockets to expand the range. The hands in the pocket, it will already have put it to acquire the sander which is a fairly substantial budget. But given the work accomplished, it may be worth the effort.
