bosch planer model 1594k with bevel cutting guide is great. very quiet, smooth cutting, and 95% of dust stays in bag. from Amazon.com 2. The front shoe simply isn't capable of surgical accuracy. You can fix the blade alignment problem yourself without voiding any warranties, and the Bosch tech assured me that while someone had obviously goofed, this is something I'd have to do eventually at some point during the life of the tool, especially if I ever hit a nail and threw the whole thing out of whack. To do this you: from Amazon.com When I let the smoke out of my off brand plane, I decided to stop mucking about and buy a professional quality tool. The Bosch had the best mix of price, features and reputation. I have not regretted it. from Amazon.com I need to perform precision tapered planes with successive passes and this really compounds the problem. Me being the sucker that I am, I returned it and ordered a new one only to get one with the same problem. After contacting Bosch tech service, their only suggestion was to take it to a service center. Sorry, I don't think I should have to take a brand new tool to get serviced. from Amazon.com I've owned this planer for almost two years, within that time the sole units have never been aligned correctly and the dust chute is constantly clogging. I returned it to Bosch just outside of the warrenty period and they re-aligned the shoe for me without charge, but within a short while it was all over the place again. What a shame, if only Bosch could make their machines as well as they can organise their customer service side of their business. from Amazon.com Bosch should be ashamed of putting such a poor quality fence on this product. As other reviewers mentioned, it is almost impossible to get it to 90 degrees. from Amazon.com I have a number of Bosch tools, and this planer has the quality I've come to expect. The description doesn't mention it, but it comes with a fitted case. from Amazon.com Bosch has done it again. Well made, works great and does the job well. from Amazon.com The Bosch 1594k is yet another great example of Bosch tools, Quality. Ease of operation. from Amazon.com I'm a boat builder and had the precurser to this planer when I started my schooner many years ago. It went through thousands of feet of oak and mahogany bevel cuts and was a pleasure to use. My friends had the ubiquitous Makita planer and I was swayed to switch to it (after my Bosch was stolen) because you can mill down the cutting depth adjustment to get an 1/8" of cut, and the Makita is powerful enough to handle it. The Makitas have one flaw that always bothered me though, they vibrate a lot, probably from the drum being out of balance. from Amazon.com
