Work has treated me well over the last year and I'm in line for another promotion in the Spring. To celebrate, I decided to upgrade one of the longer tenured tools in my arsenal - the planer.
My Ryobi AP1300 has served me well for a long time, and it was a great Craigslist buy. When I purchased it was missing a few things like a dust chute, so I ordered one. Also bought a set of knives that I've never had to install. But cosmetically it isn't in the best of shape - the lock lever was broken when I bought, and the plastic sides have come loose. The main reasons why I was looking to upgrade was because the darn thing is a jet engine. It is extremely loud even with hearing protection. I also occasionally get snipe, which could be solved in a bigger shop with a sled. It's height didn't make it easy to store in my shop. Due to the design of the dust chute and my low volume dust collection the chute clogged easily.
Twelve months 0% from Amazon was calling my name so I splurged on a 735x that I've been wanting for at least 18 months. I don't know if it will be any quite, but it should solve the rest of the problems. I had to schedule delivery, so it will be here Friday.
