PL1632 3-1/4 In. Planer

Works fine for project working on. Fairly light weight and easy to handle. Guide bar was not 90 degrees to plane angle when used. Noise level is bearable.

I bought this planner because I wanted a quality planner. I was using a harbor freight planer. Obviously it wasn’t that great but it was very cheap and at the time I serve my purposes it’s a no-brainer, but the difference is not by quality.

Get the PL 2632K Kit instead. It's a better planer and comes with a durable case as well for a similar price.

First power planer purchase to neatly trim doors instead of using a circular saw and guide...very happy I bought this. Smooth, easy set up and operation, as with my other Bosch tools. Well balanced with plenty of power to handle planing hollow-core and solid-wood doors. Warmed up on scrap wood...took a few times to get my technique pat to smoothly finish the last ~4 inches of the door edge (after the front of the planer had nothing left to rest on). Finish looks like it was done in the factory.

Don’t know how I went this long without having one of these. Needed to resurface a door. Worked way better then sanding.

Has changed how I work with wood. Absolutely fantastic on taking cedar boards and making them smooth wit no need to sand. I bought the extra blades (tungsten?) for a future myrtle wood project, but haven’t needed them yet.

I’m a first time power plane user. I find it to be an accurate, excellent tool for leveling uneven boards and planing door edges. That said, be careful and read the safety instructions. I somehow let a finger get too close when it was winding down and needed six stitches. Total stupidity on my part . Lesson learned. All tools come with risk.

This track saw is the least expensive on Ebay. I only had to make a few cuts so I tried it. It works fine but cuts much better if you upgrade the blade that comes with it. Once I put the new blade it, it cut easily and accurately. Some of the locking knobs are plastic and I'm unsure of their durability, but so far everything seems to be working fine. It works well with the Powertec tracks and cuts throught 3/4 maple without any problems.

Retuned the item back to Illinois, came with US plug NOT UK.. to much hassle to convert. No problem with the refund 24hs after dispatch, money back. I'm sure it's a good planner for people in the states...

I haven't owned a planer before and this is probably the most powery power tool in my garage. We needed this for cutting down some slab doors and I was able to figure this out with a quick youtube video. Its an easy tool to work with. Cord length is great and even with the length of a door, I could comfortably go the full distance even with room from the outlet. Cutting is smooth and the finished product has a super clean finish: not a hint of a snag at all. Even with the bag, it creates a lot of mess but the bag does a great job of containing the bulk of it. You can connect the planer to a shop vac to avoid the mess of cleaning the bag (it fills up fast!)

Es muy buena, no se van a arrepentir si la compran. Trabaja muy bien y la calidad es excelente como siempre. Deja la madera prácticamente lisa, al cepillar una tabla de grandes dimensiones se me hizo un poco complicado porque deja muy marcados los rebajes laterales, aunque configures la profundidad al mínimo. Es como si trazaras una linea como una carretera en la madera, y luego eliminar los bordes se complica porque haces mas pasadas y formas otros bordes y al final se hace un desmadre. Ya estuve practicando para eliminar esos bordes tienes que levantar la maquina a pulso 1 o 2 mm mientras la pasas por la madera y luego terminas con una buena lijada. Lo que no me gustó es que la maquina se calienta muchísimo después de unos minutos de uso continuo, si tocas la parte lateral de aluminio te puedes quemar. La bolsa si viene de muy mala calidad y se deshila muy fácil. En general si te facilita mucho trabajar la madera, hasta ahora sigue afilada la cuchilla. cuando pierda filo pueden comprar la original por $300 o una truper de $50. yo compre la truper....

Excelente máquina volveré a comprar otra sin duda alguna!!! La utilizo en mi taller y se trabaja a gusto con ella por eso doy 5 estrellas!!!

This is the best planer that I used so far, lightweight with enough power, quiet and easy to handle. The bag that collects the wood chips works great. 100% recommend that tool from Bosch
