Product Review
The Bosch 1276DVS offers solid, reliable performance plus a few nifty extras, making it an easy-to-use sander that's serious about removing material. Bosch designers listened to customer feedback and developed a front handle that adjusts. Deep detents mean the handle snaps securely into place, giving it a burly feel and stability in any of the six positions. That, combined with nice balance and weight, minimizes user fatigue. Like many of the sanders in this class, the motor is aligned with the belt edge to make flush sanding possible; however, as with other Bosch belt sanders, visibility is somewhat limited once the sander gets into corners.
The belt-changing system works well--we didn't suffer any spring pinches--and the belt tracking adjustment tracks the new belt quickly and keeps it in place. The 1276 gets its "dustless" name from the adjustable shoot that accommodates nonwoven belts up to 8 mm thick. Belt sanders are all about removing stock in a hurry, and the larger the area of sandpaper in contact with material, the faster material is removed. To achieve a perfect finish, it's important that the sander sand flat. The platen on the 1276 is the cork-and-steel type, not as efficient as cast aluminum, but a good, solid performance setup. Plus, the 1276 offers an optional graphite platen--a great high-performance extra. There are a few other accessories available and we liked the sanding stand, which holds the tool in an inverted position for fine finish applications, and the machined-aluminum sanding frame that keeps the sander up off material, reducing pressure on the belt and making smooth finishes easier. By offering these accessories, Bosch makes this already fine tool versatile to boot. --Mark McDonald

Customer Reviews & Comments
I've owned a Bosch 1276DVS 4" x 24" Dustless Variable Speed Belt Sander since 2001, and have used it countless times. It has never failed to perform as expected. It's well balanced (front to back and side-to-side), so the platen stays flat on the wood without tipping. With rough belts, you really have to hold on with both hands, or this powerful tool will pull away from you. The adjustable front handle is a nice feature. It couldn't be easier to change belts -- pull up the locking lever, slip the old belt off, put the new one on, push the locking lever down. When belts don't track properly, the tracking adjusting screw is easy to turn and effective. Once a belt is on-track, which is easy to do, it usually stays put. Although the dust-bag sometimes gets into your sight-line or hits something above the thing you're sanding, there is no perfect dust bag that I've seen. As with any belt sander (I have several), a tremendous amount of dust is produced, and the bag doesn't get it all. Wear a respirator when using any belt sander. I also wear ear-plugs, even though this unit isn't particularly loud for a belt sander, and use it outside if the job permits. The electronic speed control is easy to see and use, and it works flawlessly. The sander has a high-quality 10' flexible rubber electric cord, not one of those stiff plastic ones. Any 4" belt sander would be too heavy to use overhead, and difficult to control when using vertically. In other words, it's best (if possible) to use it facing down. This is a first rate tool, and I'd get the same one again. July 2007 update. The sander stopped working. Turns out it was a defective speed control. I bought a new control through toolpartsdirect dot com, and the sander works like new again.
