Amazon.com Review

This well-designed planer offers fast stock removal and the smoothest finish--exactly what we expected from Bosch. The powerful 6.5 amp motor runs the versatile two-blade Woodrazor system at 16,500 rpm with a protective shield that covers the section of blade that's not in use. The fence itself deserves applause--bevels are accurate and easy to adjust. We love the chip ejection as well. Too many times, we've tried tools with an exhaust system that might as well not be there, but this one actually moves the removed stock and it's multidirectional! Deep cuts are possible in just one pass without bogging or chatter. There's even a spring-loaded park rest stand that protects blade and workpiece. The saw is a special shape that allows easy start-up in the middle of a workpiece. Accidental starts are a thing of the past because of the lock-off release button. Bosch thought of everything; we're impressed. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

This is a great product, especially at the reconditioned price, it works well and leaves an excellent surface, ready for finish.

I needed to plane the edge of a door that was too wide, and this planner worked great. It was easy to use and easy to adjust the depth of the cut.
Planer out of plane - Reviewed on 2008-10-24

Like many others, I had problems with getting an even plane. Whether it was the soles, blades, or both, the result was removal of 1/32 deeper on the right side of the workpiece. Even with it set on zero, it would take material off the right side only. I need to perform precision tapered planes with successive passes and this really compounds the problem. Me being the sucker that I am, I returned it and ordered a new one only to get one with the same problem. After contacting Bosch tech service, their only suggestion was to take it to a service center. Sorry, I don't think I should have to take a brand new tool to get serviced. Thankfully Amazon has awesome customer service for returns. Bosch blew it on this one.

I've owned this planer for almost two years, within that time the sole units have never been aligned correctly and the dust chute is constantly clogging. I returned it to Bosch just outside of the warrenty period and they re-aligned the shoe for me without charge, but within a short while it was all over the place again. What a shame, if only Bosch could make their machines as well as they can organise their customer service side of their business.
