A SANDER FOR EVERY SURFACE
Sanding is an essential part of the preparation required for virtually every type of surface treatment. Discover which is the right Bosch sander for your application, in combination with selecting the correct abrasive.
Bosch DIY sanders cover a range of materials, from wood to varnish, paint, roughcast, metal or plastic; an array of surfaces, from small to large; corners or edges; and flat or curved surfaces.
In addition, Bosch has developed a new abrasives concept to make it easier for DIY enthusiasts to select the correct abrasive for the application at hand. This comprises three distinct categories, sorted according to grit and application. The first is Remove( a high material removal rate, using very coarse and coarse abrasives); the second is Prepare( a light material removal work, using medium and fine abrasives); while the third is Finish( intermediate varnish sanding and keying paint blemishes, using very fine and extra fine abrasives).

THE MARK OF SAFETY
The PGM mark is established world-wide as mark for safety and quality of hammer drill bits and rotary / percussion drill bits. The PGM mark is granted to manufacturers only, not to distributors or private labels.
“ All our blue chip international brands such as Alpen Drill bits and Rawlplug Fasteners / Anchors carry the International PMG mark of approval for proven and tested quality,” says Ryan Hunt sales director for Vermont Sales.
” It is controlled and regulated service that all international brands in this industry are tested for quality, perfection and safety, once this has been completed all the products carry their stamp of approval.
“ This stamp of approval puts these brands and products way ahead of any brands that don’ t have the PGM stamp of quality, hence all our key brands and products carry the PMG stamp of approval,” adds Hunt.
Generally, the quality level of drill bits with PGM mark can be assumed as higher than those of unmarked drill bits, because reliable and quality focused drill bit manufacturers are certified.
