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. I--Kris Jensen-Van Heste/I

 Works Great October 28, 2008
Retired Early (Libertyville, IL USA)
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 October 24, 2008
Dr. D
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.
Service but no smile! September 30, 2008

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.
 Not a "door" planer August 26, 2008

What I should say is: It is not for a door expert. The planer is great but the bevel guide adjusts in the opposite direction from most "door" planers. This is a problem because if you have the door on a saw horse, you will have to flip the door over to get the bevel going the correct way. Also then your marks would be on the opposite side if you mark on the high side. Otherwise is very nicely made with good features.
Great Buy August 18, 2008
S. Johnson (Chicago)
I am restoring a 96 year old house and needed to take off 96 years of crappy, cracked, tough paint. Tried everything before this and wish I would have started here. Bought the product with a little hesitation since there were a few bad reviews. None of which has been applicable to me. This planer has been great - goes all day long with a powerful motor and get the job done. Will work great once I get to the molding. The only problem is that its a bit heavy to hold up all day long which isn't what it was really meant for. Aside from that little issue I would definitely recommend.
