5.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect but great for the money, February 21, 2001

I compared this planer to my previous BOSCH 3272 which was comparable, but not as accessory laden as this model. The tools are similar in cutting specifications; however, the new model has a 5.0 amp motor, the handle is more comfortable, and has decent chip ejection to the right or left ( includes a 2 1/2" vacuum adapter )with a shop vacuum, and includes the new micrograin replaceable blades. The standard edge guide does not bevel, nor does this setup allow for rabbets out of the box. The edge guide works much better with a thin coating of "Slip It" non staining lubricant applied to its face, and it basically stays where it should. It works atleast as well as the Porter Cable model which I am also familiar with. In terms of performance, this unit works well. It is consistent ( with consistent hand pressure ), does a nice job, is lightweight and for the same money as the previous model, it is a great deal with the extras mentioned above. Probably the best of the lot in terms of product for the dollar; however, if you intend to use this unit 7 days a week for years in a row, I would recommend the more expenisve model, as well as the rabbet adapter and bevel guide. Nonetheless, for most DIY and semi-constant use, you can't beat this planer for the money in my opinion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Power!, October 9, 2000

I am happy with its power and performance. It comes with an adjustable 90 degree edge guide. I wished I bought the model that has angle edge guide and the rabbeting depth. Now I have to buy optional edge guide and the rabbeting depth stop again. Other than that this is a great quality tool and it is made in Switzerland.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the money, you can't beat it..., October 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bosch 3365 5 Amp Planer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this planer hoping it would last at least a few jobs, and was pleasantly surprised. Lightweight, powerful, comfortable to use, and a smooth depth setting takes the guesswork out of it, unlike the Makita's, which I've owned, hated, and returned. A newly converted Bosch enthusaist, I have nothing bad to say, well, except for the lack of a case. Picky, picky, I know
