I just got that edge guide for my Bosch PHO 2000 last week. :) It has 2 holes in the "fence" so you should be able to secure a small board to it with a couple of countersunk bolts to extend it vertically.
Man thats so cool... i was sitting and thinking I wonder if I can use my planner as a jointer. There here you are are... pretty sweet video. Your planner looks brand new for being as old as it is.
Great. I am just getting into finer woodworking and first bought a electric hand planer to make a chess board for my grandson. I was not able to achieve the results I wanted and had given up on the electric planer. I got frustrated and got a thickness planer, which still didn't really solve my issue. This looks like just what I needed. I did finally finish the project, but the results were good - not what I wanted. Your tips on your workbench are much apprecated too.
I have used these for over 20 years, and it boils down to using it like you would a hand plane! These tools should be handled with the same care of a firearm, but also Confidently! A Very good point about ‘wobbling!’ Also, with the Bosch, the planer blade is right at about the ‘B’ in the Bosch name on the side. Knowing approximately where the center of the cutter blade is, on whatever brand, is essential. And NEVER EVER place your hand on the sole plate! Eric did here, but he was touching the guide, so not as close to the Cutting assembly. Please handle these with care. Stay safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍👍👍😁✌🏻🇺🇸
I actually didn't use it much for the first 7 years. It sat in a drawer. I used my hand planes more, but now I use the electric planer for most of the jointing work.
I have an old but excellent Bosch hand planer with an edge guide. The biggest issue is avoiding snipe at the end. The only reliable way I’ve found is to clamp a batten to the tail end. It stops the plane dropping as the front shoe leaves the workpiece.
I have an old Bosch planer. The fence is the length of the sole plate and neatly covers the cutter under the guide. A great safety feature. It is awkward to set so must be checked for square/angle. The biggest issue is power cord. It snags all too easily stopping the job exactly when you don’t need it. You have to ALWAYS flick it clear before every cut.
If you put the cord over your shoulder opposite the hand you are pushing the planer with like the old timers did when mowing lawn, you will find that the power cord no longer is a problem. BUT this may require that you add an extension cord. I hope the visual is clear...
Wonderful video Eric. I was wondering if you need to "read" the woodgrain when using the power planer like you do with a traditional hand plane in order to avoid tearout, or does the spinning blade eliminate tearout and you only read the grain for your final hand smoothing planing.
Thanks Craig! You still need to determine the grain direction with machine planers. If it's hard to read edge grain, you'll know on your first pass if it's chipping out at all.
I never use this planer for surface work. I highly recommend investing in a thickness planer or get yourself a good number 4 smoothing hand plane and maybe a good jack plane - that's what I use to finish the surface.
On my impact drive, I usually have my long, Robertson screwdriver bit. I use a lot of Robertson head screws (square). Less likely to strip and are re-usable.
As far as I know, nothing. I received some comments a while ago that the newer Bosch tools are not quite as good and that they've discontinued some of their previous line. As this is the only Bosch tool I own I can only say that I am impressed with the quality.

Awesome tips

Great video, this is how i did it until I got a small jointer for my shop.
Thanks for the info .
Your Bosch looks almost identical to my old Makita. I just processed 3 rough cut sawmill 4x4x12 cedar with it. I love hand tools! Great video, thanks!

Thanks for sharing.Very usefull video !!!
For being 10 yrs old, that planer looks brand new.

Very well put and very simply explained, Ta👍👍❤✔

Ease up right at the end, don't let the planer shoe dip. It takes practice, the planer only does some of the work for you.
Thanks for the video! Lots of information.
Good job!
Found out what I was looking for.... Thank you
I’ve been using this for jointing. Need to pick up a No. 7 and a No. 4. Good info.
Awesome dude!!! That Stanley No. 4 is a beauty! 👍👍👍👍👍😁✌🏻🇺🇸

I know the cord can be a real pain. I might upgrade to a cordless one day...

Wonderful
helpful video, thank you
Это реально здОрово!!! Спасибо!!! This is really cool !!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing your skills, very informative 👍😁
Well done, Eric. Good tutorial, helpful.
Thank you 👏👏👏👍
Excellent tutorial! I have the budget Parkside, but after adjustment is very good. I will give this a try
Nice!
I use my tracksaw for this, I cut one side, measure from the two endpoints for the width and cut that off too.
Nice good job
Awesome!!
Great video...
Are these pretty efficient at removing the rounded corners of construction lumber?
Yes, it's the same process.
Yes
I like bosch

Hi, would you have any tips on flattening boards with this tool? I seem to still have issues with it and dunno how to really make the process work.

💜👍
Yeah, I found out hard way their not so great for surface planing without having much experience doing it.
I only use mine for edge. I use my Stanley and Veritas hand planes for the surface work. Gives me a lot more control.
thanks for the tips, i wanted to ask what screw bits do you use the red colored bits in your impact?
On my impact drive, I usually have my long, Robertson screwdriver bit. I use a lot of Robertson head screws (square). Less likely to strip and are re-usable.
ok.
What was ever wrong with Bosch tools??
As far as I know, nothing. I received some comments a while ago that the newer Bosch tools are not quite as good and that they've discontinued some of their previous line. As this is the only Bosch tool I own I can only say that I am impressed with the quality.
I haven't heard anything bad about Bosch. However, it seems like every tool company has ups and downs over time. Craftsman is a popular example.
