            Vac hook up
            I have ALL ridgid tools. I bought the planer because i love ridgid. I have a ridgid shop vac. Why doesnt the vac hose hook into the planer? It blows off while the planer is running!! So I’ve resorted to gorilla tape.

              Lifetime warranty
              Fantastic machine - the life time warranty is worth it's weight in gold. Just make sure you register it. Suggest to do an inspection of screws before use. the depth Guage would be better if it was digital.

              Great planer
              Bought this planer a few weeks ago I’ve made about 4 cutting boards various sizes from rough lumber. Planer did a great job on the lumber walnut , cherry and hard maple also ran the edge grain cutting boards through which came out great and saved a lot of sanding

                Tool performs very well. Factory finish on the machine base was very poor. Looks like bubbles all in the finish.

                Easily to Setup & It Worked Great
                This is my first planer and it worked great. The Rigid 13 inch planer made quick work of getting several pieces of sassafras to same thickness. Chip removal was easily handled by connecting the planer to my 5.0 HP Rigid shop vac (2-1/4" dia. hose).

                  Rigid planner
                  I have used Rigid tools for over 40 years in the trades until now. Based on my past experience with Rigid is why I purchased this item. The machine works great but the chip ejection system sucks. The vacuum impeller is not powerful enough to remove the chips and plugs up every 20 minutes or less. Then you have to tear it apart clean it and reassemble it. That is only shaving off 1/64th of an inch. If you shave 1/32th it only takes 5 to 10 minutes before it plugs up. Most annoying.

                    Smooth As A Sheet Of Glass
                    There are not many planers on the market that suit the need of woodworkers who require just that little bit more width for items to plane without breaking the budget; mine was the fact that the Ridgid 13-inch, allowed me to plane 12 3/4-inch guitar bodies to a precise thickness without having to do much final sanding-- and all within what I would pay for a less caliber one. I was also amazed at the smooth cut the three blades provided.

                    Best in class! Best = performance and quality/$
                    A planer has been on my “nice to have” list to list for years. Is this the best DIY planer out there? Not likely but it is probably the best value unit, especially on sale and with a lifetime warranty. Does everything you would want! And if you’re at all timid or apprehensive, YouTube offers lots of help to get you started. I’ve found snipe is directly proportionate to levelling tables and supporting wood as it exits. Been extremely pleased so far, no regrets!

                    I have had to return 3 in a years time. It's been a lil over a year so I can't remember what happened to the first one. The second one as I was running boards the motor blew. I just got my number three last week. When I started to use it I could hear a rattling noise. I should have taken it back the next day. I turned it on today go listen for the noise and one of the metal plates holding down a blade come free from all 6 screws and wrapped itself around the rotating bar. I will not be getting another.
