Description
The Bosch PL1632 3-1/4 in. Corded Hand Planer is built for professional-grade performance and precision. Ideal for planing doors, wood panels, and other surfaces, it combines powerful motor output, ergonomic features, and engineering innovations to deliver consistent, smooth results with minimal user fatigue.
Equipped with a 6.5 Amp motor generating up to 16,500 RPM, this planer ensures fast stock removal and a high-quality finish. It features a reversible Bosch Woodrazor™ micrograin carbide blade that lasts up to 30% longer than standard carbide blades and is part of an electronically counterbalanced single-blade system that automatically sets the ideal cutting angle to reduce drag and increase efficiency.
The ratcheting depth adjustment knob allows for precise depth increments (up to 1/16 in.) without the need for recalibration. Additional features like a dual-mount guide fence, ambidextrous lock-off button, dust ejection control, and a spring-loaded stand make this planer a reliable, accurate, and convenient tool on any jobsite.
