Thanks for the tip, Joey!

I have a planer thicknesser made by KITY French or Swiss anyway a major supplier wanted £43 for a set I discovered them for £15 made with top quality steel inc tungsten anyway I bought four sets and they work great.I bought a little cheap Black and decker hand electric planer the belts just snap like paper everytime I use it so I bought a used Elu/dewalt.it seems b and D make their money by selling cheap hand planers with expensive belts has anyone else had this problem wit Black and deckers little electric hand planers?Alistair

Check this place, I just bought jointer knives, and Andrew was very patient and knowledgeable. prices don’t seem to bad either http://www.template-services.com/Planer%20Knives.htm. Not sure if he has blades for the suit case style or not. (most blades are 1/8 thick . . . he also does custom . . .

Speaking of tools Ryobi no longer makes, does anybody have an AP10 planer for sale? 10 1/4” that was produced in the 80’s.

FEDSAWDAVE,

I have a AP10 clone, the manuals for them both seem to show them to be the exact same tool. Mine is labeled Tool Shop

But was it made in the 80’s marcb? What country was it made in? That AP10, you could run anything through it.

I have an AP10 that works great, but I have upgraded to a 15” Jet. I will check the label to see if I can determine the build date, but it has been in the family for a looooooong time. I am in Minnesota, let me know if you are interested.

Jerry, I’d be very interested. I’m not looking for “new in box” although that would be nice. As a 20 something sales rep the early 80’s I sold a ton of those planers but never bothered keeping one for myself. Now I have a use for one. You can reach me Mon-Fri Toll Free @ 1-866-FEDSAW! (333-7291)
