2LateIWon Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Anyone wanting to get rid of their planer? Im looking for a 12" bench top planer Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Would you be willing to pay about $50 shipping costs on top of the price of the planer? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 better off buying local to you for something like that.......used or new....... keep rubber wheels clean and put a piece of 5/8" or 3/4" MDF on length of feed bed makes things so much easier.... way less slipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're on a whole different level there comp but the way I understand is keep the feed rollers clean and swap out the stock feed beds for mdf?

KnarlyCarl Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I suppose not all come with feed beds Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 sorry they would all have feeder beds. I may be wrong in calling them that but that is what I call them. and I don't mean replace with MDF just lay a piece of MDF from one end to the other with a stopper on the feed side closest to you so it can't move wood will slide far better than on the chrome sheet metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kato Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 If you can find a Ryobi buy it, it's a really nice planer. On any planer if you keep the bed waxed you won't have any issues. I wax mine every now and then, when I feel like the wood is not running through as smooth. The Ryobi doesn't have feed tables though, gotta make your own if you need them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yeah just light the wick and sing happy birthday lol Ok well you can actually get paste wax for woodworking Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I use regular Turtle Wax or similar. All you need to do is keep it smooth. If you put a lot of wood through it the bed looses its "natural" smoothness and the wax helps to maintain it. I didn't wax it and wood would go through kinda rough, and when that happened I Googled around and found that most people recommend waxing the bed. So, I tried it and it was like a brand new bed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 wax works but I don't like using wax, as it may reflect the end finish that I'm working on. ( wood can absorb ) The MDF is straight forward clean and works just as good or better. In your case with the Ryobi putting a MDF board 8 or so inches in front and behind would give you the in feed table you don't really have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
