It has made my life easier. The x lock blades aren't everywhere so I buy a few when I see them.

Great grinder. no issues. I use it regularly on chainsaw carvings

I've always liked Bosch, I would never recommend this particular one to anybody.

Excelente esmeril ahorro muchísimo tiempo dinero y esfuerzo, ya que la perdida de tiempo es dinero perdido para mí, cambios rapidísimos, de dos esmeriles, ahora solo tengo este al servicio vale cada centavo los consumibles se pagan solos, muy buen invento de parte de bosch.

Los accesorios y el cable se miran gastados

Let me start by saying I am a Dewalt guy... if I own a tool that isn't Dewalt, it's because (1) I bought it eons ago, (2) my limited use of the specific tool can't justify spending the extra money (ie. scroll saw), or (3) I can't get what I am looking for with Dewalt.The Skil grinder I owned fit category #1: it had been well over a decade since it was purchased. A few months ago, while cutting through some metal, the grinder kicked back so hard that the cutting disk wrapped itself around the t-shirt I was wearing... it also gave me quite a nasty slice, though in hindsight it could have been much, much worse. I quite despised that grinder... so I was hardly heart broken when, about 6-8 weeks ago, it died in the middle of a wood sculpting project. Bye, bye!I borrowed my neighbour's 20v Dewalt cordless to finish the job. It worked significantly better, however the more I worked with sculpting the wood, the more I realised that a grinder with variable speed would be much better for my needs. Further, the Dewalt cordless chewed through batteries in breakneck speed and still had quite a powerful kickback.I began the hunt for a corded, variable speed grinder. It turned out more challenging than expected. You see, once a variable speed option is added, the price point correspondingly skyrockets That's when I came upon this Bosch. Though I had never previously used/owned a Bosch product, this had everything I wanted at a price I was willing to spend. So I clicked the "Buy It Now" button.Having used it thus far for sculpting and sanding on live edge hardwood (to make bowls, cut out a 'river' for epoxy in a table top, etc.), I am obliged to share that this grinder is leaps and bounds above any other I've used.It's comfortable to hold with a well-balanced weight. The trigger and paddle switch are ergonomically placed. Moving the safety guard is quick and simple. The cord is quite long. The variable speed works flawlessly. When using X-lock, changing the disks are ridiculously easy and fast (I'll speak more on this below). And, when I was using an over-aggressive sculpting disk that bit the hardwood significantly enough to cause kickback, the tool immediately shut off... so zero worries about me getting another injurious chomp from a grinder.I absolutely love this tool. At the time of purchase, my one hesitation was the X-lock... essentially, this unit is designed to only accept X-lock disks that are produced solely by Bosch. Though I didn't like the possibility of having to buy more expensive disks (which they are not, by the way), I needed a grinder that could use wood sculpting disks, something not available for X-lock.Thankfully, a fellow reviewer on this item mentioned the availability of a third party adaptor that would allow use of any disk with the X-lock Bosch. Though that reviewer noted the size of the adaptor forced to disk beyond the safety guard, making it unsafe, my search on Amazon revealed a newer model of the adaptor that was shorter and stronger. Once again, I clicked the "Buy it Now" button. The adaptor works perfectly for my sculpting disks on the X-lock Bosch grinder, and does not stick out beyond the guard. As for other disks, like a 40 grit sander, I purchase the Bosch X-lock... and absolutely love the quality, the ease of use, and the quick changeability at a price point that works.The final word: this is a fantastic grinder that is comfortable, safe, and offers variable speed control... it is worth every penny I paid.

A+

El esmeril funciona perfectamente aunque un poco caro con sus accesorios.
