I don't see or here much about the Bosch PS50, is there something wrong with them or what???
I had some Amazon discounts so I bought one and from what I have seen so far I really like. I got the PS50-2B which has all the stuff with it and it was only $160 after all the Amazon stuff. I guess if I was to do it again I would get it the PS50-2A with just has the sanding pad an one blade.
I have been very impressed with the way it sands, that is the main thing I got it for and it really works great, gets into those little places very easy.
I had a little Ryobi 3 corner detail sander given to me and it is only good for doing your finger nails I think. It just does not sand worth a crap and I was worried the Bosch was the same way. Its not and it sands like a champ.
To change to a blade, you just use and allen wrench, take the allen screw out and remove the sanding pad, put the blade on, put the allen screw back in and that's it.
The blade that I did use worked well and cut what I needed but there are many ways I could have made the cut I did. So I guess for normal woodworking the sander is the best part to me.
Overall the price is a little high for just a sander but then again it is really nice to be able to get into those tight spots and sand them out as fast as this does.
I am sure over the years I will find more things to use it for but at this point the sanding pad is on and that's what it will get used for.
