    Bill,

    I just purchased a AP10 and your on-line manual was very useful. Thank you. I don't have the setting jig and I was wondering if I could take you up one your kind offer to Brian and get the measurements so that I can make one.

      Hi David,
      I'm glad you could download the manual but I don't have this planer anymore. Maybe you could ask entogeek to take some measurements for you since he just got one also.

      entogeek, did you get the manual ok? It should be here: http://www.wpsee.com/ebay/ap10-all.pdf

            I read an article on Ryobi planers the other day and they said they tend to accumulate debris on the infeed rollers and it could lead to snipe. Just a heads-up in case you run into problems. I think Ryobi has it fixed now.

              I have a manual and the planer. When I bought mine, the guy had built a stand for it and ran a piece of melemine through it to help with the snipe. I don't think the ap10 manual is online but you should check.

              Let me know if you can't find it, I can scan it. Some highlights:

              1) Each complete revolution of the handle moves the blade 5/64 of an inch. Generally I remove about a 1/4-1/2 of a turn at a time. For the final pass I move the handle even less, if at all.

              2) Minimum stock thickness = 1/2"
              3) Minimum stock width = 3/4"
              4) Maximum depth of cut 3/32"
              5) Maximum width of cut = 10" (softwoods)
              6) Maximum width of cut = 6" (hardwoods)
              7) Maximum stock thickness = 5"
              8) Minimum stock length = 14" (shorter could result in kickback)

              Blades can be resharpened. Best way to avoid snipe really on this planer is to cut it off.

              Great little planer otherwise.

              I think it was on woodshopdemos.com that I first (and only) saw the melamine trick used. Now this one, has anyone here used this trick?
              I bought the Delta from Redmond a while back (thanks all) from a link in the bargin sections, and I was thinking about trying it.

                Thanks, helped w/Repair of Ryobi AP10.

                Thanks for posting the Operator's Manual. ( to: BMeyer)

                Bought an AP10 w/o Manual and its power cord needed to be replaced.The cord was breaking through the covering and kinking the wires at every kink, loop, and guide. The strain relief molding coming out of the motor was dried and cracked. Never saw a cord in such bad shape. It was getting worse every time it was moved.

                Had to tear down the unit to get the belt off one side and access to chain drive sprocket on the other to move motor out of the cutter case. Found the switch housing filled w/sawdust, packed. Switch connections are screws and wire ends are ring connectors. The plug was a two prong, and cord a two wire.

                A cord from a scrapped Radial Arm Saw, was used as a replacement. The quick connectors from the saw were replaced w/ ring connectors. No place to connect the ground.

                The disassembly gave access to the gearsand roller chains. They were packed with sawdust and grease was hardened on the gears. Some resin build up in the chip channel. Had to leave the planer sides loose , until the height adjusting mechanism is in place on reassembly.

                Only 2 screws left over after reassembly, the screws from the switch housing. It is working after the reassembly and will be adjusted.

                  Just got my hands on a Ryobi AP10 surface planer in good working order. Anyone have a PDF of the manual. Also looking for blade adjustment jig.

                  Thanks for any help that is out there.
