The first 12-volt Max planer on the market is about the same size as a hand planer, and it has a a 2.2 In. planing width and a single-pass planing depth of up to 0.08 In. It features an efficient EC Brushless motor for professional operation and smaller size.

It is designed to provide the easiest planing experience for fast stock removal and smooth finishes.

    Great features

    Love this hand planer. Compact but packs a punch. Great for shaving door and cleaning up counter edges. I really wish Bosch would come out with a 18v larger bladed version. Super happy with this tool.

    Amazing power!!

    I love using this to plane wall studs in a shower to flatten the wall. Shave a door down. I usually use it most for scribing baseboard to the floor. this little guy has way more power than I thought. Easy to handle and use.

    Just 1 of many tools

    I own 99 percent Bosch tools. This one works great for scribing cabinets/top during my installation.

    Good size to power balance

    Bought the bare tool. I have plenty of batteries and chargers. It doesn't disappoint. I will say though, the shaving bag is worthless for anything over 3/4". On 1-1/2" it plugs up, which really wasn't unexpected. That's the only - so far. I could easily control it to put a chamfer on the edge of a 1-1/2" board. If you don't expect big plainer performance out of this little guy, you won't be disappointed ether.
