Ryobi is no stranger to woodworking and now they have a new corded thickness planer with the Ryobi 15 Amp 12-
I saw this on the Ryobi Tools new tools section of their website and it makes sense in their lineup. They already have a table top drill press, a small table top bandsaw, table saws, and a thickness planer fits right into the mix.
A thickness planer is a tool for planing down boards of wood by removing thin layers at a time. This is a great tool to mill your own wood. After it has been cut, run it on a jointer for warping and then pass it through a thickness plane to get its final dimensions. This tool is great for resurfacing old lumber, giving it a new look and enabling you to give it a new life.
Ridgid, a sister brand to TTI, has offered a thickness planer for many years. Ryobi is the first company to offer one. Ryobis model can plane boards up to 12-
It does come at a lower price than the Ridgid model and the Ryobi is priced at and is available now at time of writing.
