Bosch Professional 06015A0300 GHO 18 V - LI Cordless Planer (without Battery and Charger), L - Boxx

Product Information

Compared with the GHO 26-82 D, you can’t change the chip ejection direction or plane off as much material per pass. Although they’re probably better known for their battery-operated power tools, Japan’s Ryobi make one of the best corded planers, the RPN780-S. You might think this feature only exists on the best electric planers, but here it is on a relatively inexpensive tool.

The two-sided chip ejection is great for left-handed users, or when your vacuum system is on the other side of the tool. If you want to spend a bit extra for a planer without annoying power cables, the Makita DKP180Z is for you. Bosch planers are powerful and precise, offering accuracy and ease of use even throughout demanding tasks. Thanks to innovative advances in brushless motor and battery technology, our cordless tools today are just as powerful as (or even more powerful) than corded tools. They’re all controlled in a similar way- an adjustment knob on the front of the tool can be turned to move the spinning blade in relation to the front plate or “shoe” up or down in tiny increments- usually by 0.

Due to the nature of their application, accessories and consumables do not have a wear and tear guarantee or warranty. Featuring the Bosch patented two-way chip ejection switch to direct shavings either left or right and an ambidextrous lock off switch accessible from either side. Forming part of Bosch’s “blue” line of professional quality tools, the GHO 26-82 D is one of the best electric planers you can get.

It's lightweight with continuously adjustable cutting depth and ultra-sharp Woodrazor blades for precise, high-quality surface results. Lighter, faster, extremely powerful – our 18V tools combine ultimate performance with maximum freedom. It’s the user-friendly touches like this that make it one of the best electric wood planers available right now.

They’re also more expensive, so think hard about how much you’re going to need to use the tool first. Just like the other cordless planers on my list, this tool doesn’t come with batteries or a charger.

Our storage and transportation cases are compatible with Sortimo vehicle racks, withstand up to 100kg of top-load, and can be adapted with variable tool inlays to fit all your tools of the trade. There’s a tool for every trade and you can mix and match all tools and batteries within the same voltage class as you like. This means you can easily boost the performance of older Bosch Professional tools by using the ProCORE18V battery. The problem of which side trails hoses or bags has been defeated by clever dual-sided dust port systems on the best electric planers, but they won’t remove 100% of the chippings. 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.To avoid gouging the workpiece at the start or finish of a pass, try to approach the workpiece with the front toe down, and lift off the end with the front toe coming up. For smooth, effortless planing, the best approach is to take off small amounts of material at a time but make more passes. This matches (or even outstrips) the performance you would normally only get with a much heavier tool from a higher voltage class. Unless you’re doing a lot of planing or you need a professional tool, this is a contender for the best electric planer. Avoid gloves and make sure any loose clothing or hair is tied back, tucked in and away from the spinning blades.
