This is a popular electric planer that can be found easily on your local hardware store. I purchased this set for quite some time ago, when we are about to do the fittings and furniture of our newly built home. I got mine for RM350.00. Not quite of a compact tool and handy, since it is weighted for more than 2.5kg. The HSS (High-Speed-Steel)
blade would rotate at 6500rpm at load free with its powerful 710W motor. Once turned ON, it will produced a low-pitch shrieks, glide it over your work area it will then shrieks on a high-note that will shoo away the in-laws, and that’s a sign; this Bosch GHO 10-82
gets to business.

Out of the box, the tool comes with the needed accessories (spanner, guide bracket and stop bracket) and manual and also the warranty card. Bosch Malaysia only provides a 6 months warranty for their power tools range. Quite disappointing to find out, that in some other countries, Bosch provided their power tools with a full 1 year warranty, and even 3 years warranty for their cordless power tools.
The GH 10-82 Planer
design is quite sturdy and firm, with buttons and switch are placed on the upper front side of the tool. The top of the planer is the handle with a pistol-trigger for the main switch, for better control while keeping the tools firm in our grip and on the work space. There’s a small red-colored switch lock button on the side of the grip, which can be used by both right handed and left-handed. On the upfront of the planner, is the thickness toggle from 0 to the maximum cut of 1.0mm. Pretty easy to understand, and far less complex compared to Canon EOS 550D
. On the lower rear of the tool, is the parking rest trigger. It is a safety switch for parking the Planer
, while the blade is still rotating at high speed even right after the switch trigger is Off. The saw dust ejector is place on the right side of the planer, thus the only reasonable and best standing position for operating it is, by handling the planer
on our right side.

Bosch also mentioned that the planer, GHO 10-82 can be switched to other different type of blades. It is by using the conversion kits user can opt from the standard HSS blade
to TC (Tungsten Carbide) blade
. The advantage of HSS
over TC is that, HSS
can be sharpened and re-sharpened again.

is a serious tool and should not be taken lightly. It should only be used on woods. One should check on the work surface for nail bits and metal splinters before using the planer, particularly on used woods. The planer should be applies only after the tool is switch on (pulling the trigger) to avoid kick-backs. Work only on properly secured work-space, like clamping the wood firmly, free movements area and breathable space. You don’t want dust and splinters stuck all over your hair.

, I had to experiment it for few sessions, before deciding the right settings for the job I am in. It is really straight forward type. The 3 V grooves on the base plate of the planer is cool. I’m using it to make a quick routing over the edges. Somehow, the wood is too long, and I tend to loose balance halfway routing spoiling the middle part of the wood. As I stated on the above; free-movements area is a must, to keep up with the planer control and minimize errors. Yes, a vibrating 2.5kg tools is not 2.5kg anymore. Keeping the planer
firm flat to the work surface is a must. But while routing, the contact area of the router and the work area is greatly reduce to just a tiny (less than 0.5” line). So, maintain a good and safe work space, so that you will not easily loose balance while sliding the planer
through that extra-long work area.
