## Overview

The Bosch PLH181B 18V cordless planer combines a powerful 4-pole motor with a precision ratcheting depth knob and a fracture-resistant WoodRazor carbide blade.

Lightweight and cordless, it’s engineered for professionals who demand accuracy, durability, and freedom on the jobsite.

## Description

The Bosch PLH181 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. Battery and charger sold separately.

Review: Good planer - This planer was good and served my purpose. I have not used other brands but this one was very fast and powerful to use. I used it to trim/shave off about 1/8" of wood in a few passes. The only thing not so good was the missing bolt and nut for the guard rail. I had to go to Bosch website to order the missing bolt and nut for about $10.
Review: Great planer that holds it's own against corded - I have had this for nine months. I have used makita and Bosch corded planers, both of wich have 2 blades as compared to the Bosch cordless having 1 blade . I have planned the studs in 3 basements. This cordless Bosch planer has plenty of power when paired with Bosch's Core18v 6.3ah battery but will bog down if pushed too hard, but believe me that will be hardly an issue because no would want to push a planerer that fast. The finish it leaves is finish grade.
