I thought the router table or recip saw would as I thought they would be more commonly in stock.

Yeah you would think that. After the trouble you when through getting a laser.

I ran a planer like this when I worked in Woodworking shop. It was great machine. I learnt more about this planer in 5 minutes by watching this video then I working Woodworking shop for 6 months.

Not what I was expecting to come first, but it came.

It came with batteries in the little battery holder place, but you know I had to try it out before I took the photos…lol.

Thanks Bosch and BTP!

Congrats Jim! Looks like great laser. Now you start putting the pine up.
