Anyone know of any difference between the 3365 and the reconditioned 3365R besides the extra set of blades and the vacuum hose attachment on the 3365?

With the same model number (except for the R, which I assume is affixed to designate it is reconditioned) there should be no difference whatsoever.
I assume you know that any tool must be sold as "reconditioned" (or I should say, is supposed to be) if the box has been opened for any reason. This can mean anything from a tool that was returned as defective, to a tool that was used for demo purposes at a woodworking show, to some fella that bought it one morning and returned it that afternoon, to someone who bought it, built a house with it, then brought it back.
So, some reconditioned tools have literally never been used, while others will show obvious signs of wear.
I have been told that every manufacturer has a separate department that takes in the returns, inspects and fixes them if necessary, before they send them out to the market as "reconditioned."
I dont know about this specific tool, but I've had good luck with bosch reconditioned stuff.
i bought the recon one and like it alod, good tool..
If it were to have been sold as new rather than recon, i wouldnt have noticed

I'm going to be getting a bosch planer, and was wanting
to know if you purchased this and if your liking it?
Nope, sure didn't so can't help you there.
Skycore's had his for a while now. Maybe he'll jump in here with a more detailed opinion.

Thanks for the replyWell for anybody else out there I'm lookingat ToolCrip recond. bosch 1594k-31/4" for $137.00and the bosch 1594k-rt-31/4" FOR $114.95http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000067S14/ref=ord_cart_shr/104-5119045-4917504?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glancehttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002L25SM/ref=ord_cart_shr/104-5119045-4917504?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=AUEUXQQV6YS3R&v=glance
Dont know if you have a Lowes by you, but I think they have the Bosch 1594k for about the same price as Toolcrib (~$137).
Ive got that planer and really like it. Nice having the double sided disposable blades. Ding up the blade, just change it to the other side, ding that one up, put in a new blade. And the replacement blades arent that much. I really like the ability to choose which way the chips eject. Im left handed, and used to end up with a tool bag full of chips on my old planer.

went to blowes and that planer was marked 149.00oh well. thanks for the heads up.
No crap!!! They had it marked last week at the Lowes by me ( Charlottesville, VA) for $129 or $136/137, something like that. Just regular price, no sale or anything. Wouldnt think that different stores would have different pricing, but what do I know. Next time Im there Ill check and see what the price is now.
Sorry about sending you on a goose chase.

I was already goose chasing anyway, not a problemWas looking for the new bosch cs20(?) circular saw and thisparticular store had quit carrying it.
I also have that bosch planer, comes in handy and does a good job, as was said, the ability to decide which side you shoot the chips out of comes in handy.
hey butch, I have the cheaper one and like it ALOT. I bought mine reconditioned from amazon. If you have spacific questions i'll do my best to answer them. If I have a complaint about it, it would be that the chip ejection port gets clogged pretty easily.Not a big deal though, it clears easily by pulling the trigger with the tool in the air (not touching the work).It is the first elec. planer Ive owned so i cannot really compare it to others.______________________________________________

hey butch,
I got the bosch about a year ago. Haven't used it much until last week. Very happy with it. I got the one with the case. There is one (also 3 1/4" I think) but it comes in a crappy cardboard box. Also mine, has two blades instead of one. Try amazon.com for a good deal.. The fenceworks well. Checkout finehomebuilding issue 157. They reviewed 15 planers back in august 2003.
Try amazon.com for a good dealYeah, I already ordered it and after doing so I found out I could have gotten it at ToolKing for 120.00 comparedto the 137.00 I paid at amazon.
call Amazon and get a refund.. plus 10%.. offer to send it back...

I bet you could just e-mail them, amazon is hell-bent on good customer service

good customer serviceThey screwed my order up, I paid extra for 2day delivery, so itwould be here by this weekend, but I get an email stating that itwon't be delivered till sometime next week. After searching for 1/2 hour on their web site for a phone number I finally was able to call to see what's up. I ordered the planer,stabila 59"and 24" level,and some sanding pads for my fein multimaster. When I ordered, the girltold me that the sanding pads would have to be backordered. I said noproblem, just ship those normal shipping and ship the others 2day air.It seems that the back ordered stuff delayed the whole order. They said they couldn't do anything about it once the order had went to shipping...They said they would refund shipping and that I could refuse the shipment when it does get here.
that is a pain in the neck but it doesent sound like neglegence on Amazon's part, it sounds like a disadvantage of mail order.It makes sense that they would want to ship them all together. Im sure they just have a protocall for what to do when gathering an order up to ship and since there isnt necicerally a person thinking about each decision, the fact that you paid extra for fast shipping might not have set off any alarm bells since the process is so laid out.. but whatever, let them know that you are irritated and hopfully theyll work it out.Good luck______________________________________________
