How deep can it cut in one pass?

The maximum depth of cut is 1/16 inch. Deeper removal takes several passes, which is normal for a handheld planer.

Does it come with a battery?

The tool is 18V cordless and runs on Bosch 18V batteries. Check the box contents for whether a battery and charger are included, since kits and bare tools differ.

What width of board can it plane?

It handles boards up to 3-1/4 inches wide. The fence helps keep the pass straight along an edge.

Yes. The rabbeting depth is about 5/16 inch, useful for shallow rebates and edge work.

Is it a good choice if I already own Bosch 18V tools?

Yes. Sharing the battery platform means you carry fewer chargers and packs, and the planer is a natural add-on for site work.

How does it compare with a corded planer?

It gives up some power and depth per pass to a corded model but frees you from an outlet. For door trimming and light stock removal the trade is usually worth it.

Our take on the Bosch 18V 3-1/4

The Bosch 18V planer is a cordless handheld tool for trimming doors, fitting boards and shaving stock down to size. It cuts up to 3-1/4 inches wide and 1/16 inch deep per pass, with a rabbeting depth of about 5/16 inch, and runs at 14,000 RPM on a single micrograin carbide blade. It ships with a fence and chip management, so it works as a self-contained kit for jobs away from an outlet. Against corded planers it trades raw power for freedom from a cord; against smaller 2-inch planers it covers wider stock but is heavier in the hand.
