The Mirka DEROS 550X CV is a high-performance corded random orbital sander featuring a brushless motor and central vacuum readiness, designed for professional woodworkers. It delivers pneumatic-like power with low vibration and high efficiency, making it ideal for extended use on furniture, cabinets, and intricate detailing. The tool is best suited for users who prioritize dust-free performance and precision control.
The Bosch GET65-5N is a powerful corded random orbit sander featuring a dual-mode system that offers three times the stock removal rate of standard modes. While its heavy-duty motor and vibration-dampening technology ensure professional results, the lack of an electric brake and higher weight are notable trade-offs. It is best suited for professional woodworkers and cabinetmakers who need a versatile tool for large surfaces.
