I think that the OP may be looking for a source of blades other than
from the HD. I myself have been wondering the same thing.

Are there carbide blades available for this planer?

I don't know about the knives for the Ridgid Planer but I know Home
Depot doesn't carry the knives for the Ridgid Jointer. I just went to
buy some to replace the originals which have seen moderate use over the
last couple of years. I looked in three HD's in my area and was told by
employees in two of them (imagine that, I was able to find a HD
employee in two of the three stores) that HD doesn't carry the
replacement knives. Since I needed the knives right away I ended going
to a Sears which had one package of 6" jointer knives on the shelf. If
I had a couple of extra days I would have ordered the Freud knives from
Amazon. HD did have replacement knives for the Ryobi planer that I
bought there (second HD, first was out of stock). This is my only
hesitation with buying Ridgid tools- being able to find replacement
parts. For the most part I have been happy with the quality of the
Ridgid tools I have purchased- table saw, jointer, finish nailer, and
laminate router. I'm even considering the new Ridgid router- 2 1/4 hp
fixed/plunge combo. I'm holding out to see if they have a sale soon.
Otherwise I may buy the Hitachi combo router from Amazon if they ever
list it again- lately Amazon hasn't had it for sale, only the third
party sellers on the Amazon site. Does anyone have any idea why Amazon
isn't selling the Hitachi variable speed 2 1/4 hp router combo? I think
it's the KM12VC kit. Just wondering. Thanks.

Part# is 827712 and it seems the price has nearly doubled over the
past few years.

The price of almost anything made from steel has gone up dramatically in the
last three years or so.
