Bosch Cordless 18-V Planer – 3 1/4-in

This Bosch PLH181B planer is great for fast stock removal and leaves a smooth finish. This planer is ideal for trimming doors, and because it is cordless, it eliminates the possibility of running out of cord in the middle of a planing pass. The electronically counterbalanced single-blade system automatically positions the blade at the ideal cutting angle, and it eliminates uneven planing caused by misaligned blades. The planer comes with a guide fence that can be mounted to either side of the tool. The Bosch line of cordless tools uses the industry’s most advanced Lithium Ion technology for greater battery life and more run time, all in a lighter package. (Tool only, battery sold separately.)
