Where has this been all my life, this is a great tool to have in your wood shop.
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.
Thankfully Amazon has awesome customer service for returns. After contacting Bosch tech service, their only suggestion was to take it to a service center.
Whether it was the soles, blades, or both, the result was removal of 1/32 deeper on the right side of the workpiece. Like many others, I had problems with getting an even plane.
Me being the sucker that I am, I returned it and ordered a new one only to get one with the same problem. 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. Sorry, I don't think I should have to take a brand new tool to get serviced.
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.
