Planer Deals & Offers

Thanks for posting and congratulations on your first hotukdeals thread (y)

Got this one when it first came out 2 years ago from Axminster, for £170. Worth every penny

It's a nice planer, I had the previous model and while it was ok I would say this is much better. It's much more powerful and can rebate which is very useful plus I think it can take a deeper cut. Also the extract can be fitted to either side and if you use an extractor with it which you really have to with a planer then that alone is a great feature. Seems like a good price, I paid a little more for mine last August and I'm very happy with it and would pay the extra over the DKP180.

Seems a good price and in stock for delivery tomorrow (y)

Must have been my Amazon or something, it’d gone up in price.

Yes. Every other listing for it, including Bosch site mentions "GHO 26-82 D, dust bag, parallel fence and carry case", as do replies to Amazon questions, and reviews. I would buy from Amazon direct (not 3rd party seller which is currently cheapest), or reputable seller elsewhere, so you know you're getting new product.

Was it this one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-Professional-06015A4370-Corded-Planer/dp/B01DVU92LI I couldn't see any mention of the dust bag or guide so wanted to make sure.

I am returning mine because It was far from 'Like New'. Was covered in saw-dust and had prominent scuff marks on the plate. Complained to Amazon about the misleading stated condition. Doubt anything will come of it though.

It was a few pence cheaper as a Prime Day deal. £40.59. Mine arrived today. Didn't bother posting it as a deal because it was previously voted cold at £44. The Bosch Professional 26-82 was £90 as a Prime Day deal, which was probably a better deal if you're going to need a dust bag and parallel guide (neither come with this Bosch Green). Annoying that 3camels doesn't cover Prime Day deal prices and send alerts.

Got one like new as well £40 thanks OP

Perfect. It livens up the leather seats if you plane off the top few mm... XD

If you have a good hand plane it's not too hard but you need to have a good means of securing the door in something so you can plane it easily. Like most things if you have the right tools it can appear relatively effortless.

Wouldn't you have better joy hiring a floor sander? I'm not experienced in this, but I think it's what I'd do.

This is actually a very good question, I have done it always with a circular saw you just need to make sure the blade is good and has enough teeth for a clean cut. I can use the circular saw more often to be honest and it works without problems.

Not sure if I should go for this or spend the extra on the Makita M1901 for £65 500w 2mm with park stand. Only DIY Projects. The last McAllister circular saw I bought only lasted just over two years

Picked one up and it's missing the rebate depth gauge!! (mad)

I bought this from screwfix last year it died after about 3 hours of use. Blades were starting to dull after a few 1m pine boards. Its good for the odd light use but definitely dont try and take any more than 1mm with a pass as it will jam and die. Screwfix did refund with no hassle I ended up getting the Dewalt which has been a dream to use but its 3 times the price.

Get what you pay for plain and simple (annoyed)

Whenever would you use this over an orbital sander? Tia

Ah gutted

Wickes do not sell the planner (annoyed)

Is there a link for the deal you are referring to? I can’t see wickes with this planer? Really like to have a planer for fitting some doors.

The wickes deal with the battery kit trumps this one.

I wish people would put 'body only' in the description!

Down to £34.99 now.

A screwdriver is easier to use than this planer, just unscrew the 9 screws and take the door of otherwise you'll end up with a right (poo) looking finish.

Thank you you read my mind I was thinking yesterday I need a planer! ordered this used click and collect and my £5 voucher they sent me which ends today so £29.99 cost for me! Brilliant find 🔥 (highfive)

Agreed with all of this. To be honest, the faff of using a multi tool will be much greater than removing the door, even without the much messier outcome! Why don't you want to take it off?
