Bosch GHO 12V-20 Professional Cordless Planer

The Bosch GHO 12V-20 Professional Cordless Planer is a compact battery-powered tool for shaping, smoothing and levelling wooden surfaces. Its 56 mm maximum planing width suits narrower boards, edges and fitting work where a full-width bench machine is unnecessary. The cutter runs at 14,500 RPM at idle, supporting controlled surface finishing. Its format is relevant for door and window installation, timber correction and general wood-processing tasks. Cordless operation also keeps a trailing mains cable out of the working area.

Drive comes from a brushless EC motor, a configuration without the carbon brushes used in conventional brushed motors. The balanced, ergonomic layout supports handling when the tool is used in different working positions. An integrated dust-extraction port permits connection to a compatible extraction system. With extraction connected, the arrangement can help keep the cutting area clearer during planing. The compact body is suited to carpenters, installers and woodworkers who need to move between site tasks.
