Re: GMC/ryobi thicknesser

Hi Guys. Nice to see you here too Ding. How your boat coming along?

I'm pretty sure you can find blades in Binondo.

What I'd like to know is where I can get them sharpened. I've been using sandpaper on plate glass but not really that much since most of the wood I plane is soft and when I've did Yakal I went really slow with the feed.

Re: GMC/ryobi thicknesser

3k for a pair of blade seems steep for a weekend hobbyist. i have yet to try hard wood(as opposed to hardwood) like kamagong myself.

@bbn

Isn't feed controlled by the machine?

Re: GMC/ryobi thicknesser

yes, the price is steep, so take care of your blades. knotty wood is one of the reasons for dulling mine besides feeding it with Yakal, Kamagong and other very dense woods. Also be careful when using reclaimed wood, make sure no metal is left on it.

Re: GMC/ryobi thicknesser

@j2sip,
I also have a surplus ryobi thicknesser which I got from Dettedoromal, it still works fine for my standards. But since I'm not sure if I can sharpen the blades when they get dull, I ordered this blades in amazon in our On-line 3 in PHM as a reserve; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00302MWMO
HTH:).

Yes Bro. What I meant is to take less aggressive depth of cut.

Adding to Timber's advice, wood from old houses might be great material but these often have small, and big, rusted nails that are difficult to see. I once chipped a carbide saw blade resawing this nice Yakal post reclaimed from an old house.

I have the same spare blades I ordered last year! But I'm not sure if I got the right ones. Did you fit yours already?

Hi sir Ding,
I haven't actually fitted them yet, but I just put them beside the original blades and they have almost the same dimensions, except the new ones are thinner.

Boat's coming along fine, Louis. Strip planks are about halfway done. But I noticed there were some gaps between some strips. So I'm now using a Dremel multitool to slit through the gaps (sort of roughening up the insides), then brushing epoxy in, then jamming some epoxy fillet into it. More like grouting.

HI there beedigo,

HE HE HE HE HE , So it was you who purchased that surplus Ryobi thicknesser from mam Dette, cause I was inquiring about that Ryobi a few months back and she said its out of stock and a guy from Laguna was the lucky one who got it :D.

Maganda ba syang gamitin bro ? I'll just check sulit from time to time if ever she has new stocks .Enjoy your thicknesser bro. 🙂

I have no metal detector yet so thanks for the warning, guys. I could easily be tempted as there are a lot of old reclaimed wood here for thicknesser fodder if I'm not too careful.

Aren't the blades in your link sized 13"? Ryobi's shorter by 1/2" but I might be wrong.

thanks for the replies.

Re: GMC/ryobi thicknesser

Jordan, I believe the blades of the Makita 2012nb should fit this in case you cannot find a replacement. Maybe someone in sulit carries that item....

Does anyone have tried this? Is it working? im looking forward to buy ryobi thicknesser from dette doromal in sulit. im worrying about the replacement part particularly the blades. thanks...
