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 .
