It's flawed but does the job December 15, 2007
I've got one of these that I use on my 1293 1/2 sheet sander and 1295 ROS. I use it in conjunction with the adaptor to an 1 1/4 vac hose. It does a far better job of collecting dust than when using the supplied cannister. In fact the only real dust that seems to escape is when you are sanding an edge.
My complaint is that Bosch doesn't make one of these for the North American market that doesn't require an adaptor to mate up to a 1 1/4 hose. Having to use an adapter just extends the arm of the lever and puts more strain on the clips.
Having said all that I'm going to order another one, with adaptor, so that I can leave one on each of my sanders and don't have to switch the vaccuum adaptor from one to another.

this is a good piece of hardware, does the job. But why was'nt it included in the price of the sander? I am a thirty year professional woodworker and this is the first sander I have purchased that did not have an included vacumn hookup. If I had realized this before I hit order I may not have bought the sander.

The new version of this adapter is made of much stronger plastic (the original was soft rubber). It also now has two latch type prongs that hold it securely to my sander. Bosch offers four additional adapters to enable you to connect a variety of shop vac hoses to this adapter:
BOSCH 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" hose-to 35 mm port Adapter VAC002
BOSCH 35mm hose-to-1-1/4" port Adapter VAC003
BOSCH 35mm hose to-2-1/4" port Adapter VAC004

I purchased the RS006 and VAC001 as a package. What can you say about an adaptor. It works. it fits the Bosch sander just fine. The ear clips are poorly fitted when compared to the exhaust filter that ships with the sander. Had to force mine to extend far enough to clasp the sander. The lack of dust in my enclosed basement workshop is its endearing quality. Bosch should ship this attachment with the sander. Cost more to ship it than to purchase it.
Cheaply made, cheaply priced, works ok. May 15, 2007

I bought this adapter for my Bosch 3107 sander recently. It makes a nice snug connection that locks in place, I just question how long the plastic clips will survive before breaking off. I'm really glad I bought it because now I capture almost all the dust my agressive little random orbit sander can generate. I sanded my deck and there was no noticable dust settling on nearby cars or driveway. Unfortunately, the port on the adapter is a very oddball size, but I stubbornly refused to buy the overpriced, single-purpose vac hose from Bosch. A 1" OD adapter would fit inside the port. I opted for a pliable mini step adapter (#815898) from Woodcraft for $4. They don't have this item on their website; I would call, try mail order catalog, or visit one of their stores. By cutting off most of the smallest step from the step adapter and slicing off the little nubbies on the outside of the RS006 port, I achieved a real snug fit. The big end of my step adapter was a tad over 1.5" but it made a nice snug fit in the gray end of my Mr Nozzle vac hose. This configuration did not pull loose once on my deck job.
