Electric Hand Planer Bosch PHO 2000 — brushless motor, 680 W input, 19500 RPM, 8.2 cm width, 2 mm depth

Bosch PHO 2000 is an electric hand planer designed for trimming, leveling and fine surface finishing of wood and wood-like materials. Equipped with a brushless motor and a rated input power of 680 W (approx. 380 W output), the tool delivers an idle speed up to 19,500 RPM. The planer provides a maximum cutting width of 82 mm and a maximum depth of cut of 2 mm, intended for use on straight edges, doors, boards and other carpentry or renovation applications that require consistent, controlled material removal.

Advantages

The brushless motor reduces maintenance needs and improves efficiency, supporting high idle speed and steady cutting performance. A maximum working width of 82 mm and a 2 mm depth capacity allow for accurate planing across broad surfaces while preserving control. Built for AC mains operation, the tool offers continuous power for extended tasks without interruptions associated with battery charging. Compact design and handling features facilitate precise guidance along edges and flat surfaces.

Suitable for

• Edge trimming and smoothing of wooden boards and panels
• Planing doors and window frames to adjust fit
• Surface leveling prior to finishing or painting
• Removing small amounts of material in renovation and carpentry tasks

Key specifications

• Motor type: brushless electric motor
• Input power: 680 W (approx. 380 W mechanical output)
• Idle speed: up to 19,500 RPM
• Maximum planing width: 82 mm
• Maximum depth of cut: 2 mm
• Power source: AC mains

How to use

Secure the workpiece on a stable surface and mark the area to be planed. Set the cutting depth to a suitable value (up to 2 mm) and ensure the planer is fitted with the correct blade or cutter. Connect the tool to AC power, hold it firmly with both hands and position the soleplate flat on the workpiece before starting the motor. Move the planer evenly along the grain or across the surface, maintaining a steady feed rate to avoid gouging. After finishing, switch off the motor and allow the cutter to stop before setting the tool down or changing blades.

Usage recommendations

For best results, perform several light passes rather than attempting deep cuts in a single pass. Use suitable personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, dust mask) and ensure secure clamping of the workpiece. When planing veneered or delicate surfaces, test on a scrap piece first and adjust feed speed and depth accordingly to prevent chipping.
