Ryobi made a couple of darned good planers during the early to mid
1990's *The AP-10 is close to legendary for being one of the first
really portable planers that worked well. *The AP-12 is a 12-5/16"
machine that is built like a fire plug and very reliable. *I have
owned an AP-12 for about 12-15 years and quite frankly I have abused
it during the past year or so by running some very heave 8/4 timber
through it . *I eventually cracked the motor/gearbox housing but a
good buttering with JB Weld pulled it back together.

I am not surprised that Ryobi doesn't know about it. *They seem to
forget about a lot of their equipment and their owners after a few
years. *When I bought my AP-12 the knives were around $15/set until
they discontinued them. *Then the aftermarket versions were selling in
the $60-$80 range. *If I were you I would start checking out knife
availability now. *Mine is old enough that the high-priced knives were
probably going to require me to replace the machine. *5-6 sets would
come close to buying a newer one.

BUT - The Delta 22-562 knives that fit the Delta 12-1/2" machine work
fine in the AP-12. *They have an extra index hole in the center (the
AP-12 doesn't have a matching pin). *I got the Delta recommendation
from this group 6-8 years ago. * If your machine is 90's vintage and
has the quick-index knives you might get lucky.

I had one running almost daily to make edging for countertops.
Wonderful little machine. A true break-through.
