![✅ TOP 5 Best Electric Handheld Planers [ 2023 Buyer's Guide ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/R2r2AmvtqW8/mqdefault.jpg)
Hello. I just got a Bosch planer like yours, and I'm really please with it. Actually I already had some experiencia with Bosch planers since I usted a PHO 25-82 for years. This has been an upgrade no doubt.
But since I often use the planer as a benchtop jointer, I miss the through 10mm hole i'm the front of the machine that is used for the fixation to the supporting frame. The old modelo had it.
Thanks you for your coments and advices
Great video, and the only one on this newer model. I have the BOSCH 1594 which is similar and got new blades - the real Bosch PA1205's from Amazon for USD 22 a pair, because mine were 20 years old, and planed too many new doors and Deck boards! Showing the full Blade Removal and Replacement would be helpful, and alignment of the yellow painted star screws IS necessary FIRST, if you want 0 to be zero planed off, and getting the 3 1/4" blades even for a perfect cut will take some adjustment, before replacing the 3 main hex screws and cover. Definitely use a 1/4" drive socket to remove these, and take some heavy cloth or padding for the vice jaws and secure the planer upside down using a bench vise helps a lot! My original blades were cracked and chipped from too many nails or screw heads. Thanks for showing the great features, never got the Bagger because you just aim the Discharge chute with the 180 degree level on top. Bosch is great stuff, and their symbol is a Motor for a reason!
Thanks for the kind words! Still loving this tool for much of the raw sawmill stock I get.
Thank you for the wonderful video
great vid, love the movie clips in there too.
Thanks man, I love trying to make these entertaining!
Great review. Will subscribe and check out your other videos. Have always been interested in doing some projects but never had to space to put the tools needed. I finally said i dont care about the space and am going to make it work however possible. Planing was a huge bottleneck for me as using a hand planer on the patio of your apartment just takes too long! Just a guy who wants to build his own simple furniture as opposed to paying $2000 for some ikea landfill material.
Hey man, I like your attitude! I started (before TH-cam) with a tiny work table in my garage and I did a lot of my early projects outdoors. You don't really need a lot of tools or space to have fun and create some cool stuff. Best wishes on all of your upcoming projects and thanks very much for watching!
Do you think an electric hand planer would work to smooth out pallet boards that are glued together or any boards glued together? Thanks, nice video.
Yes, this tool is wonderful for taking uneven high spots off a glue up project like the one you're describing. Make sure there are no nails or staples left in the pallet wood, and take thin cuts. Check the overall flatness of your surface with a long ruler or straight edge and shave off the high spots until flat. Finish with rough then smooth sanding and you're good to go!
Thanks!
Thanks for your helpful review Mate. Any chance you could explain in more detail (or do a video) the blade adjustment needed to get it ticketyboo?
Hi Pete! I admit that I haven't tried yet to adjust the blades beyond them being set in place as deeply in the receiving cradle as they can go, just using my eyes to validate the blade angle is parallel to the bottom of the plane. I think there may be other videos out there that go into more detail. I also noticed that depending on how much pressure I use to hold the plane down on the board surface, if I'm a little bit leaning to the right or left, that seems to influence the flatness of the cut. I then try to hold the tool as flat as I can on each cut, trying to hold it square to the surface... Anyway... best of luck in all your woodworking adventures!

Hey Pete, I have more observations after using this planer for a while. Once the blades are set deep and square in the cradle, that's it for adjustment. But, I noticed that if I don't apply firm pressure on the center point of the tool or accidentally lean pressure on it to the right or left side, the tool will cut very slightly deeper towards the side of that pressure. With both hands on the tool consciously pressing down in the middle, it takes even cuts all day long. Works differently from my hand planes which seem easier to keep flat on the cutting surface, but they don't remove as much material as the Bosch during heavy flattening jobs...
Thanks for doing this video. I just ordered one of these for my bench projects. I cut a white oak tree log in two to make 2 benches for the yard and my chainsaw left it very rough. I originally tried sanding but after one minute realized that sanding wasn't the way to go. Looking forward to trying this tool to even the oak out enough so then I can sand it very smooth. Do you think I should leave the bench/wood raw or put some type of finish on it to make it last longer? Thank you, sir.
Thanks for tuning in to our little channel! I think this sounds like a cool project. Keep in mind that if the wood is fresh cut, it will likely move (twist a little) as it dries but for a rustic log bench, that's no big deal. Finishing... Oak will absorb moisture (especially Red Oak) so a good outdoor furniture sealer like Minwax Teak Oil or similar is your best bet. It will help repel water and has some UV protection in it too. Hope it turns out awesome!
Do you reckon it could remove the top scruffy scuffy nasty-worn layer gently from an old wood floor?.
I just finished a huge room completely by hand with a little bit sander and with an old wood-plane for my first time, and it was DIFFICULT...
It took SO long, and alot...a LOT of work getting that bad layer off to bare wood,
And I was thinking 🤔 one of these electric ones LOOKS like it could do it...
I am scared of renting one of those actual floor stripper/sander machines because I only want the SMALLEST layer taken off so I can do the rest of it and the touchups by hand, and it... looks MUCH scarier than an electric hand-plane...
So, do you think it could successfully (and very carefully and correctly) take the terrible layer off for me?.
I've never done a wood floor refinish, but I do know from experience that some nail heads are never buried as deep in the floorboards as you hope. One good hit on a nail and your planer blades are toast. Renting a wide floor sander would by my choice and touch up corners with your orbital... The sandpaper will still grind off the nail heads. The planer is amazing for stripping off wood layers that is true... but I just don't trust that the other guy who laid the original floor buried his nails deep enough. I feel your pain there, man. Sounds like sanding is still the preferred approach. Best of luck with your project...

Thank you, those are some very good points!, and i guess although the blade replacements are not too TOO expensive, it would also just be safer not to hit metal on metal...
Perhaps i will use the rentable floor sander things, after all...they are meant for it!.
i will totally still buy an electric planer though someday, it looks useful for alot of things, and i am not very good with a normal one, adjusting stuff on it even using a video for help,
and then i ALSO am inexperienced in sharpening things, so...at least the electric one's blades are replaceable! (but i will still...eventually learn).
again, thank you for the advice!.
what about dust extraction vs a bag?
Yup, tried that. I now have a fitted adapter & hose for my vac system. Works great for small projects. Longer and wider surfaces? The hose drags me off line a bit. Sometimes it's just easier to sweep the floor afterwards.😁
Can you use one on these planers to smooth rough timber?
I have actually used it to clear off rough saw mill marks from some hardwood stock but it still isn't the right tool for wide and long surface plane work for a perfect, consistent thickness. You really do need a benchtop surface plane for that. Still, it does a pretty good job cleaning up and flattening out smaller rough areas making it much easier to sand afterwards... I featured it on my daughter's Walnut slab table video too and it worked well to give me a pretty clean surface for final sanding... Thanks for watching!
What? You are using any straight guide to see how flat it is? What the?
Hi there... The flatness of this slab wasn't the core issue, rather it needed to be surface planed to remove the rough milling scars. Sorry for any confusion, it was a tool review rather than a tutorial on slab flattening.
First!
First!
Who Dat? Jo Momma, that's who! Thanks for watching, dude!
@@TheFamilyWoodworker Can't go wrong with the Bosch.
