Editorial Review:
Planer Kit With Bevel Guide Fence, 3-1/4" x 3/32", 6.5A, Chip Ejection Switch Allows Debris To Eject On Either Side, Accepts Large HSS Blades, Spring Loaded Park Rest Stand, Protects The Blade & The Workpiece.
This well-designed planer offers fast stock removal and the smoothest finish--exactly what we expected from Bosch. The powerful 6.5 amp motor runs the versatile two-blade Woodrazor system at 16,500 rpm with a protective shield that covers the section of blade that's not in use. The fence itself deserves applause--bevels are accurate and easy to adjust. We love the chip ejection as well. Too many times, we've tried tools with an exhaust system that might as well not be there, but this one actually moves the removed stock and it's multidirectional! Deep cuts are possible in just one pass without bogging or chatter. There's even a spring-loaded park rest stand that protects blade and workpiece. The saw is a special shape that allows easy start-up in the middle of a workpiece. Accidental starts are a thing of the past because of the lock-off release button. Bosch thought of everything; we're impressed. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Great Remodeling Tool I bought this planer for a slightly different reason than others have. I am in the middle of a remodel project that is enclosing what used to be exterior space under our main living level on our house and the underside is supported with heavy timber that has been painted for over 30 years. I had tried orbital and belt sanders but that would have taken weeks to strip the paint. I used the planer to shave off the paint and smooth out the knots and checks. The timbers are all 10 inches wide so it took several... more info
Piece of junk Nice design, but the unit I got had too many problems, which rendered it unusable: 1. The fence wouldn't go to 90 degrees. 2. When set to zero it still cut about 1/64". 3. The moving part of the sole was angled relative to the fixed part. This is inexcusably shoddy for a tool at this price and with the Bosch name on it.
planer-door/window bosch planer model 1594k with bevel cutting guide is great. very quiet, smooth cutting, and 95% of dust stays in bag. only problem is that the guide should be made of white plastic as to not scratch the work your cutting. using painters tape on guide works okay for about 2-3 passes and then you have to redo it. can't use any tape which will leave residue once you remove it. overall tool performs great and has all the power you need. just be carefull you don't hit a screw/nail. comes in good carrying case... more info
A far cry from the best, but good enough for most tasks I found myself facing the same problem as another reviewer in that a depth setting of zero did not actually mean zero on my unit, and it would in fact remove a very small portion of wood on the right hand side no matter how low it was adjusted. This is due to two things: 1. The blades weren't adjusted properly before the unit left the factory and 2. The front shoe simply isn't capable of surgical accuracy. You can fix the blade alignment problem yourself without voiding any warranties, and... more info
