Bosch makes a well-designed corded detail sander with a microfilter dust system. The ROS10 is technically a random orbit mini sander, but Bosch's real strength in detail work is the GSS20-40 quarter-sheet finishing sander.
Bosch 18V Platform
Bosch doesn't make a cordless detail sander. The GSS20-40 is corded (2.0A). For cordless detail work, the Bosch 18V StarlockMax multi-tool accepts sanding attachments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the advantage of Bosch's microfilter canister?
It captures finer particles than a paper dust bag. The canister is reusable and transparent, so you can see when it's full. For workshop sanding where you can't hook up a shop vac, it's a meaningful upgrade.
Can the GSS20-40 handle finishing work?
Yes. The variable speed range goes up to 22,000 OPM, which gives fine control for final passes with 220 to 320 grit paper. The quarter-sheet pad leaves a flat, even surface.
