Bosch 1278 VSK

I hadn't seen this little guy before. Has anybody had a chance to use
this?

It would be great if it worked as advertized...

I haven't but it looks good! I like the fact that it has a wider belt
compared to the other mini's (1-1/2" vs 1/2-3/4")
The only drawback is its low amp rating 3.3amps. Maybe short on life or
underpowered. However, I'm willing to try new stuff!

The platens are small, so the contact area isn't very big. Maybe 3.3
amps is enough? That thing would fill my needs... (inside corners on
solid surface countertops....)
Then there is the issue of sand paper selection. BOSCH has many...LOL...

But I'm a bit apprehensive...I thought the PC profile sander was going
to be the cat's pijamas as well.....
