Great video. I asked if the blade could be sharpened and was told “absolutely not”. Then I saw your video and I will now sharpen the blades . Love my Ryobi thicknesser. Take old red gum posts and make decorative furniture and Jewellery Boxes. Thanks!!!
Thanks for this, I dreaded the moment I needed to do this. But there is no way in he'll I was going to thickness ebony with a plane...so today is the day. You made it look easy, thanks man!
Great video. I have the same thicknesser and your video is the best one I’ve seen for removal, sharpening and replacement of the blades. My blades are pretty blunt now and I was ready to just go buy another thicknesser till I found your video. Well done and thanks.
Great advice, nice instructional video, thank you David. I have two dulled blades with some significant wear in 2 areas, I hope sharpening them will remove these dulled areas and I wont have to buy new blades yet.
Brilliant! I could really do with one of those for my bench project but, to be absolutely honest, it probably would not be used much after that, so it is unlikely to be added to my collection. But what a great machine it is and with the extended life provided by your excellent instructional sharpening, anyone who does have and use this regularly will keep it tip top for many, many uses... 👍🏻
I have to agree with you in relation to usage. I rarely use it but when I have to it’s fantastic. It’s one of those investments as a nice to have but if you use a lot of recycled timber it’s a must have! Thanks for your feedback.
Good video although could have been a lot shorter; At 6:31 into the video it is mentioned that the screws to unfasten the blade assembly are anti clockwise but in reality you need to turn the screw clockwise to unfasten the assembly. Turning the screw anti clockwise witll tighten the assembly. All in all a good video. Incidentally you can actually purchase a pair of double sided Ryobi blades from Bunnings in Australia for currently $63.
Cheers from Cairns Dave Great explanation! Excellent sharpening method!!! Very good! For the price and what I need to do, this ryobi seems like a good buy, Im sold!!! Once again, GREAT vid Dave👌 Thanks for posting 👍
Thanks mate! The more effort you put into the sharpening the sharper it will be, all depends on how much patience you have. Mines been going strong for 5-6 years now and I have no issues.
Nice job mate. Any chance I could borrow the height setting tool ?? I am in Melbourne as well. I have the older version of this planner and have lost the tool.
Wow! Really great tutorial how to sharpen these blades! Thanks for this, I need to do exactly the same with my blades. Cheers from Poland!
Thanks for taking the time to teach us, appreciated.👍

Be patient when sharpening and you’ll be fine.

Would be great if you could also do one on how to make the cutter head and work table parallel (i.e. adjust the height of left and right heights).
Theres always another project LOL

Thanks. Enjoy!
Hello from Russia. Great video. I want to buy a similar device. What do you recommend? Take it or not. I already know how to sharpen knives!
Had it for over 6 years now and still going strong. Used infrequently but still works perfectly
@@DavidAbela Ok. Thanks. Nice T-shirt.
Nice job mate. Any chance I could borrow the height setting tool ?? I am in Melbourne as well. I have the older version of this planner and have lost the tool.
Where in Melb?
@@DavidAbela Actually I made one which works really well. Thanks for the reply though.
Hello, there is a need to sharpen reismus knives, What is the sharpening angle?
Sorry but you's have to check with the manufacturer. I had a look and couldnt find anything
@@DavidAbela In the video, you say at what angle the saws are made in the base for sharpening. I can't understand it by ear.
clockwise to loosen not anti clockwise.. sorry love your video
lol
