Question 2

looking for a sander that will be able to sand down body panels off a motorbike would this be suitable form every ones experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes, according to the description, part of which I have copied below. You'll need appropriate sanding discs.The secret of the Bosch Random Orbit Sander is its unique combination of rotary and orbital actions. This ensures perfect and scratch-free quality sanding on a variety of woods and metals--it's also suitable for sanding down paintwork. With the appropriate Velcro-backed polishing pads you can even polish your car with this sander.These surprisingly versatile sanders differ in two basic ways from the usual orbital sander. First, the base is round and not rectangular (hence the confusion with a polisher) and second, the sanding action is very different. Sanding discs are attached via a Velcro-type system and are easy to fit and remove. They are pre-punched with holes, allowing the dust extraction system to work efficiently. Sanding discs come in a wide variety of grits (coarse to fine).The sanding pad moves in an orbital and rotary movement simultaneously--this results in up to five times faster material removal than with a normal orbital sander and the finish is scratch-free (perfect for when the wood is to be varnished or stained).With the PEX 220A from Bosch, sanding becomes both easier and fatigue-free, tackling even longer sanding jobs, and sanding on vertical surfaces and overhead. It's also extremely versatile, as its round base allows it to operate effectively not only on flat surfaces but also on curved surfaces such as cars and boats. The PEX 220A stands out because it delivers reliable performance with its 220 watt motor while boasting a compact design. It weighs only 1.4 kg and has a continuous speed of 24,000 rpm.
