   Freinds don't let friends drive Ryobi!

   I was on a job where I needed to plane something and mentioned "...back to the shop..." and the homeowner said,"Here, use mine..."

   I got only four feet of stock out before smoke was pouring from the thing. No sign of dull blades as seen in the finish produced.

   I think Fine Wood just did a test...the "Tools and shops" issue is where I saw it, and the Rigid, Delta, and Makita came out as the favorites, costing between $350 and $490 or so.  Check it out, "on news-stands now" as they say!

   My Ryobi AP12 planer is great. Wouldn't buy anything else from them.
