Bosch PRO GHO 18V-20 18V Brushless Planer - Body

The Bosch PRO GHO 18V-20 18V Brushless Planer is a compact, professional 18V planer designed to give carpenters and cabinet installers accurate, consistent results without the additional bulk and restriction of a corded machine.

Combining a powerful brushless motor with fine depth adjustment, an 82mm planing width and a carefully controlled base plate, it is engineered for precise edge and surface planing on both solid and processed wood.

Powered by the Bosch Professional 18V system, the PRO GHO 18V-20 operates at a no-load speed of 14,000rpm, providing effective performance for everyday woodworking applications.

The planing depth is adjustable from 0 to 2mm, allowing users to control the amount of material removed, while a maximum rebating depth of 9mm provides additional versatility for joinery and fitting applications.

Precision is central to the design. Bosch uses base plate tolerance control together with fine-depth adjustment to support consistently flat planing throughout the working life of the machine. Three integrated chamfering grooves make it easier to produce clean, professional edges, giving the planer additional flexibility when finishing timber components.

The brushless motor is engineered for long-lasting performance without adding unnecessary strain, while the compact construction helps make the planer straightforward and comfortable to handle. At just 2.2kg excluding the battery, it provides a practical balance of professional performance and manoeuvrability.

Blade maintenance has also been carefully considered. The secure blade-change system enables accurate drum belt positioning without requiring direct contact, improving both protection and convenience during blade changes.

Dust management is supported by the included dust bag, and the planer is also compatible with the Bosch Click & Clean system, helping users maintain a cleaner working environment.

For example, a cabinet installer could use the Bosch PRO GHO 18V-20 to accurately plane the edge of a solid timber component before installation, then use one of the three chamfering grooves to create a clean finished edge.

The fine-depth control supports accurate material removal, while cordless operation and the compact body make the planer easy to handle around the workpiece.

For professionals looking for a precise, manoeuvrable and versatile cordless wood planer, the Bosch Professional PRO GHO 18V-20 combines an 82mm planing width, brushless performance and precision adjustment in a compact 18V package.
