  • RATCHETING DEPTH KNOB: Allows fool-proof setting of depth increments from 0 to 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) within one revolution, eliminating the need to re-zero the depth

Description

The Bosch PLH181 planer is great for fast stock removal and leaves a smooth finish. This planer is ideal for trimming doors, and because it is cordless, it eliminates the possibility of running out of cord in the middle of a planing pass. The electronically counterbalanced single-blade system automatically positions the blade at the ideal cutting angle, and it eliminates uneven planing caused by misaligned blades. The planer comes with a guide fence that can be mounted to either side of the tool. The Bosch line of cordless tools uses the industry's most advanced Lithium-Ion technology for greater battery life and more run time, all in a lighter package. Battery and charger sold separately.

Awesome little planer.
This little guy exceeded my expectations. The price and the somewhat flimsy guide bring it down to four stars. I'm not including the L-Boxx as part of this review or I would be dropping this down to 3.5 stars. The box itself is fine, but the "exact fit" inserts kind of suck. I've started purchasing kaizan foam to put in these L-Boxxes. It's not real cheap, but less expensive and more firm than the pick and pluck junk. The cheapest way I have found for the foam is to buy two 2x4 sheets for every three boxes. One sheet of the 1 1/8 and a sheet of the 2 1/4. Use the thin for the base and the thick for the tool cutout. If you don't mind split pieces of foam, you could actually do 4 or 5 boxes with two sheets. ... show more

Great planer that holds it's own against corded
Style: Bare-Tool
I have had this for nine months. I have used makita and Bosch corded planers, both of wich have 2 blades as compared to the Bosch cordless having 1 blade . I have planned the studs in 3 basements. This cordless Bosch planer has plenty of power when paired with Bosch's Core18v 6.3ah battery but will bog down if pushed too hard, but believe me that will be hardly an issue because no would want to push a planerer that fast. The finish it leaves is finish grade. ... show more

Perfect for use on doors
Style: Bare-Tool
Bought to trim some used solid wood doors that I purchased. Worked perfect, just hook a shop vac to the discharge to catch all the shavings.

This and the cordless jigsaw are my favorite go-to carpentry tools!!
Style: Bare-Tool
Great tool. If your a serious carpenter get it!! The convenience of cordless with power of its corded brother as I have both. On those quick door hanging remodel jobs this is what to have. Fitting baseboards to uneven floors, casings to bad dogleg walls, etc, etc. got to have it. Though a sharp block plane is nice too but if speed is important this is the tool!! ... show more

Style: Bare-Tool
Very nice planer. Made a lot of job possible and much quicker being a cordless. Powerful enough even for harder woods. Have high capacity battery or you'll be swapping them often. NOTE: Due to nature of wood chips that a plainer produces the bag gets filled very quickly; has vacuum connection if one desires. ... show more
