I sure hope they do. These are small changes to make in production. Most of it would not be expensive for them to address at all. Like the chip ejection issue, just design it to work correctly with a plug as Lou uses and ditch that flapper mechanism entirely. It may even save money in production once the change was made.

Came to say the same thing, except this video has convinced me to buy this particular planer as I don't have one already.

Mr Ingenious, indeed! Love the trick with the hacksaw blade to check that the cutting blades are balanced. It just shows what a wonderful wealth of experience and information you have, Lou. You, Sir, are a national treasure.

I see a signature series of electric planers in the near future with Lou's name on them. I'll buy one!

The fact that this channel only has 88k subs is insane. Excellent, practical, clear advice and technique - as usual!

His the best

I'm over three years late to this, but it shows me why my planer wasn't cutting evenly. I inherited my planer from my brother, tried using it and ended up with an uneven cut. Now I know why! I foolishly believed it would have been set up properly from the factory. Guess my brother thought so also as it looked like it had barely any use on it. Thank you so much for this! A definite Thumbs Up and subbed. And that boat you built, shown in the beginning, looks beautiful! Excellent work.

John Muir was quite a wood worker as a young man. He built a clock all with hand carved gears. Lou’s improvised scale reminded me of the large thermometer Muir built on the side of a barn. It was so sensitive the temp would change if you stood close to it. Lou is so practical, so direct and so brilliant. But beyond that is his shining spirit. I can’t WAIT to see him row the dory. When he took the skiff out it reminded me of my childhood dog. The first snow each year he would lay his ears back and run as fast as he could, smiling as dogs do. To be a man, to craft my own vessel and know to my bones how fair she meets the sea....it’s a joy to behold. Bless all who read this.

Not sure Ryobi knew what they were letting themselves in for! 😂

They probably can't give it away to consumers without that "security" annoyer back in the sole or on the side these days. When I rented machines for my work (boatbuilder) or even rented a machine hall for a project I usually had to disassemble "safety" annoyers for quite some time before the machine became workable for my task. It's a cancer sharky lawyers and successively stultyfied consumers brought us the last two to three decades. The wider-than-sole cutting insert is a problem many pros did change ever since - I learnt that in my first weeks when taking on my first apprenticeship.

Ryobi should listen to this guy and design the tool with these modifications

LOL.... I guess Ryobi didn't expect you to knock that Ryobi planner in the head, when they sent you that planner! LOL Gotta love that honesty!!!

Thanks very much for taking the time to educate us on power planers, and on the crappy job power tool manufacturers do in prepping their merchandise. I truly hope they are watching and taking note of all the adjustments and modifications necessary to make a brand new tool safe and usable. Unfortunately; modifying a power tool voids the warranty, so you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

This is the only video of its kind that I've ever seen. Simply brilliant, you've shown me what I need to do to set up my plane perfectly. What a great and engaging presenter you are. Thank you!

Lou, I am quite certain I learn at least one useful thing from every video you have made. Just tonight I was painting some trim and going back tipping the paint. I had never done that until I saw you do it. Works great! You have taught this old dog many new tricks and I appreciate every one of them. Hope you keep it up for many years to come.

Great video....awesome how you refer to the port and starboard side of the planer. Aye aye !

You, sir, are a genius. I just got a planer, and it looks like I’ll be making some minor adjustments. Using a piece of pipe for a handle to cut more accurately at an angle is a great idea! 👍😺 Thank you!

I can’t believe my luck as I just bought one recently; and now you have a tutorial to set me on the path to success with it! Thanks again for sharing your hard earned knowledge with us Lou!

This is an awesome tuning session. Nothing like experience. Thank you, sir, for sharing this wisdom!

Probably the best and most honest review I’ve ever seen. Would love to hear or see more about the chili trip

The most honest review of a product I have ever seen! So refreshing! Thank you Mr Lou!

Excellent tips! Ryobi owes you a tech design fee for all the improvements you developed.

The most thorough, comprehensive, sincere, and hands-on review of a Ryobi planer one could ever hope for. I watched the entire presentation and it made me wish I had bought a Ryobi.

This is one of the best tool videos I have seen. This man knows his stuff and Is good at explaining why he made the changes he did. Great Video!

I didn't believe such a long video would not be a boring thing but it is not. It is useful, full of relevant content. Great video, thanks, Louis. I would be happy to watch a video how the last alteration (the insert in the blower channel) is actually done.

Lou, your a godsend for that tool. I'm totally tickled I watched this video as I just bought the same planner and have had little experience with that tool and I Now feel more confident in setting the tool up for working with it. Your a tool master/wizard and I'm very happy today, many, many thanks.

This has got to be the most informative video I have seen in a long time - truly excellent knowledge and experience sharing. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this video. I have been using my Ryobi tools for over a decade and have never had to replace one due to product failure. Great video!

I love this episode, very honest 🙂 Just when I thought the blades were already a major mod, Louis shows his redesign of the airflow inside the planer and shows proof. Love it ❤️🙂

you are an absolute legend. The most useful tool guide I have ever seen. god bless you and your common sense approach.

Thank you! Probably the most practical information on making a mediocre tool and making it MUCH more useful - solves so many of the questions and issues I've been having.

This is absolutely one of the most helpful demonstrations I have ever encountered. Thank you so much!

Incredible review in both information and camera work. Such clear visual. Your experience is appreciated. You just sold a Ryobi. Thank you.

I'm so glad i saw this video! I've got one of these Ryobi planers too and it jams up like none other no matter which side I have it eject on.

Excellent tune up ideas. I think you could probably consult for Ryobi and perhaps many others but glad you made this KZread video and shared your finds and solutions. Not only did you explain how and why but did so very clearly. Thank you sir!

We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives kzread.infoUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

Learnt hell of a lot on setting up a power planner. Was having some trouble with mine and it's perfect now. Thank you so much... I'm really grateful...

Your earlier shows got me inspired to pull out my vintage all metal Wen planer. I sharpened the blades and oiled it up last week. I tried it on some 1 inch white oak and it cut like a hot knife through butter. Thanks for the inspiration!

Fabulous attention to detail and a practical and analytical mind at work!

Absolute Gold Mine, Thank you Lou.

I'd just like to thank you for making these videos, you have such a wealth of knowledge its great that these things will be preserved for a long time for others to learn from and enjoy. I watch quite a few craftsmen videos/channels and they way you explain things, the way the videos are made, they're second to none. I appreciate these videos very much and enjoy watching them even if you are working on something that I likely never will, I still enjoy watching how you make things and how you get the result you want/need. Thank you!

The best unboxing video so far, no specs just straight to gutting the unnecessary from device and making the essential adjustments to start working.

That was the BEST tool review I have seen!!! Your experience and real-world examples were great! Based on your review I bought the Ryobi planer. I hope the folks at Ryobi incorporate your blower modifications in their next model update.

Very informative and useful video. I plan on applying these tricks on my ryobi planer. Seriously glad i seen this, you Sir are awesome!

As a rookie electric planer, this is the best information on KZread, for how to get the most out of the tool. Thank You 🙏.

The most underrated Electric Plane video. Well done. Well done. Thank you

Thanks for sharing genuine tips. You add value by showing all the practical insights to measurements and mods you've made and considered from actually building boats. A lot of you tube tool reviews are merely collectors showing off a new toy. This however is a great video because you share from the perspective of an experienced user, not a collector.

Thanks Louis, that is the best unboxing video I have ever seen. My son just gave that exact plane for Christmas and I haven’t used it yet. This was a real eye eye opener and I while I won’t be demanding as much from it as you, I will try my hand at making the blade and kick stand modifications as they are applicable to all users.

Started taking notes watching this video! First time learning from Lou. First video of his I've seen, won't be the last! Wow, what a wealth of practical knowledge. SUBSCRIBED.

Tips indeed! Thank you very much!

"And now, the next thing I'm going to do, is I'm going to take this, what I guess they call a safety feature out of it..." Priceless. Thanks Lou, for all your wonderful videos. This particular one is a favourite of mine, because in it you take a common tool that is virtually useless and turn it into a star player. Without seeing how you have customized and optimized this tool, a viewer who has watched videos of you using this gem may have become so frustrated with their own newly bought version of this tool in its out-of-the-box state that they ended up cursing out the tool and you as well, thinking you had sold them a bill of goods. And yes, I bought one of these a few years ago and did the mods as you've recommended. It works like a charm, and I think of you every time I use it. Thanks again.

I'm building my diy tabel saw after getting fed up with the table saws you can buy. All of them were 110 volts and 15 amp. Motors are burning down and yes I had a new very sharp blade in them. The first one was a delta, second a black and decker en the last one a Ryobi this one had the shortest life. So my confidence in Ryobi was very low. My table saw will run on 220 what cuts the ampère in halve hopefully saving the motor.

Wonderful Lou - I've learnt soooooo much from you. Also, the camera / sound / lighting guy you've got is truly superb, A class. Many thanks......all the way from London !

This is the best review of anything I’ve ever seen. Seriously Ryobi should pay you for your reviews. I checked mine right after I saw this video and the blade is already perfect height/balance. I did file the edges of the blade. This video is amazing. Subscribed.

This was one of the most satisfying videos I've ever watched. The gentleman strikes me as one of those people that just knows what they're doing. A master of their trade but can apply it to anything.

When I watched him planing things I wondered why my Porter Cable couldn't do such things. Now I can really take a look at it thanks Lou! This is my favorite channel.

Thank you so much for posting this. Not only did it help to change blades in a previous model planer, but also how to set the depth of the blades, which now I find out is where I was going wrong before, which as a women new to woodworking was oh so useful.

This is awesome and no question the best tool video I've seen on youtube, thanks!

Brilliant from start to finish

Just did this to a new electric planer with my dad, thank you very much, no more grooves.

This video was the embodiment of your great knowledge and experience!

After watching this and many thanks, I ordered one, the information in this review is worth a lot more than the cost of the planer. Thanks a mil.

You answered all the questions I didn't even know to ask. Thanks a bunch.

Lou, this is the best review and tip video on anything, ever. Thanks.

Earned yourself a subscriber. Hard to find a substitute for the wisdom of "been there, done that." Thanks for making this video! Getting into woodworking can be intimidating. Knowing how dangerous tools like electric planers, routers and table saws can be, these are the types of tutorials us new guys need to make sure we're using our tools safely and properly.

Thank you Louis, I enjoy everything you send us.

I recently searched for a video to set up my planers as they’re not performing right and I couldn’t find all the answers I needed, your excellent video to not only answered all my questions it also gave me a couple of improvements that I’ll make to both of mine. Thank you.

Thank you. I just bought a battery powered one of these and had been looking for videos. This doesn't answer all of my beginner questions but it does make me look at it with a more critical eye.

Simply explained and useful tips as always. Thanks from UK Lou.

I was looking for a tutorial video on how to use electric (mine’s cordless) Planer and ended up here but as much as I wanted to switch channels but I couldn’t as this dude is so interesting I watched the whole 30mins ... clearly this guy has so much knowledge and experience and nice of him to share it. He’s a perfectionist (bit like me but he has a lot of experience) I wish I lived nearby to learn from him but sad;y I’m some 6,000 miles away in UK. He explains so well. He should open his own school if he hasn’t done so already. . I salute you ‘Sir’

Hey your hottrodding a planer that's awesome!

Thumbs up before even watching the video! Really wish Lou had showed us the most dangerous tool in the world though. Can't wait for next weeks video for sure! Maybe star a small segment called "Honest Lou's Tool Reviews"! How cool would that be?

My first comment on KZread! This is such a good explanation of the setting up of a power planer - it is just great! So much practical experience so well explained and immediately applicable on other planer models. Thank you very much!

Your modifications are spot on. I have the same planer with the exact same issues. After mods the ejection is 100% better. I also tuned the blades. I am an intermediate to a somewhat advanced woodworker. Thanks for this video. I am always looking to learn.

Genius level, best and most complete tutorial I’ve seen in a while... 👍👍👍

Love the way you customize it! Made it the way you like it, Nice! Thanks

Many thanks for all this most valuable knowledge. I have just learned more in 30 minutes than I have in the last 30 years about electric planers!

Best review I've seen. This man gives real world valuable information.

I have the same one got mine adjusted can’t believe how much it was off after watching the video thanks for the good information

Dude I bought a cheap harbor freight planer and was trying to follow the shyt instructions, now that I understand how to set it up from your vids. Thank you very much. Subbed and liked. Thank you.

What a great video Louis. Total honesty and spot-on advice.

so cool, the one tip about grinding down the edge of the blade is pure gold. I love my Ryobi planer but have been burned by this more than once. thank you so much.
