Planer, which one?

[mastercabman]

I need to replace my 10-12 years old Bosch electric hand planer.I have looked at the ehl 65.Really nice!But i don't think i want to drop that much dough yet.I don't use one a whole lot.And i do use it on particle board.So i am looking at the Bosch 1594 K and the Makita KP 0810
I am looking for feedback on those models and other suggestion.
Thank

It aint that much more than the bosch  well not here in the UK  and a little more expensive than the Makita!     I would go with the EHL65 I wouldnt let the little difference in price bother me unless where you live it costs alot more  than the other planers

Bosch Link £200
Not seen that bosch one before though this is the one I seen every where Bosch GHO 40-82c £209   The one you suggested has a tilt-able guide fence  nice feature!

Festool  Link £242

The Bosh goes for around $150 here, EHL65 $410, I have the bosh and it works well. Dust collection is even fairly good, but does bind up in the planer now and then. I would like to get the EHL65 eventually, but the Bosh does the job.

I have the bosch one referenced above. Used once, literally. Might need one new blade as I did hit a finish nail.
The cord still has the kinked look. It is like new on all other fronts. Comes with bevel guide.
Purchased a month ago from Lowes.
$100.

Buy the Bosch, I've had various models for years. They work great. Went to upgrade last year and looked at the 65. Wouldn't give you a dime for that thing. I consider it to have major flaws over the Bosch. I opted to buy the 850 and get replacement parts and fix my Bosch. Bosch gets used all the time. 850 sits in the bench unit, sweet _ss planer.

That could mean either of two things (or maybe the third I can't think of): lucky on the Festool price, or less so on the Bosche?
