The Bosch GHO 12V-20 Professional Cordless Planer is a compact cordless planer for mobile woodworking. It is distinguished by unbeaten practicality and sets a new standard in tool control. Helbling developed various mechanical aspects, the ergonomics, the user friendliness and the underlying fluid dynamics for airflow and chip exhaust – from the pilot study all the way to the functional model.
Bosch’s goal in commissioning Helbling was to have proprietary pre-development ideas that would be developed externally. Helbling’s years of experience with concept verification and prototype development make it ideal for such a project.

Key Figures
- Ease of use and on-the-go handling thanks to compact design and Bosch battery technology
- Low-dust emissions thanks to optimised airflow and chip exhaust system
- Smallest professional planer: 44.5 x 35.7 x 15.2 cm, around the size of a hand planer
- Component architecture makes part refinishing unnecessary during assembly
Our Contribution
- Developing the functional detailed concept in a pilot study
- Developing several prototypes
- Simulation and optimisation of the ventilation system for cooling the electric motor
- Test series to optimise the ergonomics
- Empirical test of the chip exhaust
- Concept development for tidy operation with the planer
Outcome
The GHO 12V-20 Professional is Bosch’s first cordless planer in the 12V segment. Its weight and size are comparable with a conventional hand planer so professionals can use it the same way.
