Hi Graeme, the Bosch PEX 400AE is ok. Only its heavier a bit & more power 400w input / 215w output. The speed is No load speed 4500 - 13000. No load oscillations rate 9000 - 26000. So its quite ok.

Mine is No load speed 7500 - 12000. No load oscillations rate is 15000 - 24000. Eccentricity 4.0mm. So actually ur Bosch PEX 400AE is ok. Can be use. Hehehe. But the Gex 270AE design is more compact. Maybe u can look around elsewhere if they got it.

Thanks again Bernard for your time and info.

We can't get the GEX 270AE here we are so backward in this country I am amazed we aren't in reverse yet.

I am wondering if I got one shipped to me will it work? We use 240 volts here.

Well I rang the store here about the Bosch, I can get the PEX 400 AE, they have to order it in but thats ok and its $150 au.

BUT.....

I just got off the phone to Meg's Aust and I was told the ONLY 6.5 inch pad they have is the w8006 . Everything else is 8 inch. Now I really don't understand why that don't have the same range as the US, its not like there is anything like voltage to worry about and they don't weigh a ton.

I have just about had enough frustration for one year.

Cool man..... Well u can go find hardware shops, auto paint supplier shops or etc. Actually there are other kinds of foam pads too. Bosch also have their own foam pads. It still can be use. Or u can get the 8' ones & mod it urself....eg. cut it smaller. Hehehe. Try the W9006 pad, its very soft & gentle.

Sometimes, we have to make do with what we can, have & available to us. Hehehe Take it easy ok. Take care.
