Bosch PL2632K 3-1/4 In. Planer Kit

Well built product and works fine

Well, designed. Very powerful powered hand tool.

This tool is nice and stable. The cuts are gorgeous. The motor can be heard over the noise from my shop vac, but not oppressively so (unlike some others). Comes with a bag, a guide, a tool for changing the blades, a big case ... did not come with the adapters that I needed for connecting it to my vac, but I knew that in advance. I have only planed a couple pine boards with it, but - wow! So much easier than my jack plane .... like, worlds apart. When i hooked this planer up to my shop vac, not only was the Bosch less noisy than I was expecting, it was incredibly clean as well. Definitely one of my new favorite tools. I would still recommend keeping a jack plane around, for finishing the fine details, anyways. At least, for the time being. That may change. I am very glad that I spent the money on this tool, and this specific brand.

works well. Easy to set up and use.

Good, solid hand plane. Like others have experienced, the provided fence was off by a few degrees. I had to bend it to 90⁰. Blades work well and have held on Red Oak. It is a little difficult to hold using the fence and still keep it square. Basically I hold the portion of the back fence bracket that is sticking up while pushing down on the flat portion of the front bracket. It works, but there should be a more elegant solution to keeping things squared up. Dust collection is excellent with a strong vacuum cleaner. It's difficult to plane a wide board flat since the planer removes material even when set to zero. I wish there were a way to lock the depth setting.

This planer does a great job! I recently purchased 4 ruff hewned 8x8x8 pine timbers and hand planed them with this product. It is light weight, easy to adjust the cutting depth, and very easy to use. It's easy to change/replace the blades (2) and it's everything that I needed to do the job. I didn't like the bag but didn't really need as I did the planning outside. All in all...it's a very good product for the cost and it comes with a hard carrying case.

There are plenty of choices in electric hand planes from occasional use to what might be called investment grade. The Bosch falls in or near the latter. The cutter-depth is easy to adjust with good detents (beginning at 1/64") and if you plan to do a lot of planing, that's important. The motor has soft-start, which is helpful for a powerful, high RPM tool. I already had a 50+ y.o. Rockwell, BUT it was purpose-built for narrower wood (eg doors) and the side fence is non-removable. This model comes with a removable fence that seems to be easily adjusted (I put it on, tested the fit and adjusters but then took it right off since I was eager to experiment with wider slab-like boards.) So far in 2-3 hours' use it does a fantastic job. I pushed it a time or two (on well-seasoned oak and poplar) just to see where the motor started to bog, but in most any normal use, I don't forsee a problem. The Bosch has an overall solid feel comparable to the old (but still great running) Rockwell. Other than initial cost, I can think of no real shortcomings or criticisms.

Great tool, easy to use! I purchased the “kit” which comes with a hard case, definitely recommend that route.

Excellent finish. More smoother and nicer than DeWalt, just slightly slower. Comes in a nice case with attachments.

Es un excelente producto, resultó ser más de lo esperado, eficiente y de facil manejo!!!

there were only two choices of planers, the Dewalt or the Bocsh as neither was made in China. Selected the Bosch as it had a dust bag. Have used it to resurface old lumber, clipped a couple of nails with no effect on the blade-did a great job-great tool.

Lo uso siempre en 0 porque corta en 0, no recomiendo aumentar la mordida.

Everything about it is excellent.
