- Does the GHO 18V-26N come with a battery?
- No. It is a bare tool, so you need a Bosch 18V battery and charger separately. Any Bosch 18V pack fits.
- How deep can it cut?
- Up to 2.6 mm per pass with its 82 mm blades. That is enough for door trimming and most edge work in a few passes.
- Is it better than a corded planer?
- For site work away from power, yes. A corded 82 mm planer gives constant power and usually costs less, but you are tied to an outlet.
- Can it chamfer edges?
- Yes. The adjustable depth and the V-groove in the base let you cut chamfers and rebates on board edges.
- What battery size should I use?
- A 4.0 Ah or larger 18V pack keeps speed up on deep cuts. Smaller 2.0 Ah packs work for light trimming but drain quickly.
- Does it work on hardwood?
- Yes, with sharp blades and shallow passes. Take lighter cuts on dense hardwood to keep the brushless motor from bogging down.
- Where is the Bosch 18V Brushless Planer GHO18V-26N cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $189.00, as of our latest check.
