Ap-10 Ryobi Planer

[kendo]

Hi There,
I have a ap-10 planer and need the manual so I can install the reshapened
blades. Can you help?

I didn't see the manual on the Ryobi site but there's a long thread in the forum that might help you out.

I have a Ryobi Manual, I use the term Manual advisedly, but that's what the title says, it's only 4 pages, but it has what you need. If you still want it let me know. By now you probably located one, but if not

The manual is nice, I am not sure I had that. I have an AP-10 and it came with the plastic jig for sharpening and setting the knives. Very handy. I don't find it accurate enough for setting the knives. I use it to get a rough setting but then I use a dial caliper to measure from the back of the mounting piece to the cutting edge of the knife. I make small adjustments to get this even - it is usually very close but not quite consistent across the length.

Hi,
I'm new to this forum. I came accross this thread. I have an A-10 Ryobi Planer and it snipes something awfull and have considered repalcing it. Do you have that problem? Do you nknow how to solve it? Maybe I could save myself some $$.

Hey newbie,try this old trick, lift the back end of the board ever so slightly upon infeed and the front end on outfeed and get back to me, a lot has to do with the tables if you have them on your planer

[JimD]

My AP-10 came with the infeed/outfeed rollers, do you have those? If not, you can do about the same thing with infeed and outfeed tables. The main, if not only source of snipe is the wood doesn't stap flat as it starts to go into the knives or, more often, is not flat as it ends it's passage under the cutter knives. If you keep the board flat at the start and end, you will avoid snipe. When you get bad snipe, the board has lifted noticably.

My AP-10 still snipes but a little sanding removes it. If I am paying attention, I do not get anything I consider deep.
