Model TP13002 13" planer by ridgid, I have purchased the rollers but I'm not sure if it has to be lined up (precisely).
On a few Ridgid planers, you can remove the retainer plates that hold the roller's bearing blocks in place without removing the head from the base, on others you have to seperate the head from the base to get at them. The infeed and outfeed rollers are not adjustable in that you don't have to line them up precisely when installing new rollers, they only go in one way. They do install into bearing blocks that 'float' on springs to keep the rollers tight on the wood being planed and there is a difference between the springs on the left and right side. Make sure you install the springs on the same side they came out of. When you replace the rollers you should replace the bearing blocks because they have to work together properly. Check the fit of the old bearing blocks on the new rollers, they should rotate smoothly with no side play. Make the call yourself whether to replace them or not.
SOURCE: Ridgid RO just stopped working - any ideas?
it sounds like a motor fault all you can do is strip it down and use a meeter to find out whats gone wrong with it it may be an easy fix or not if the comutator is burned out or the field has a brake in its windings its a dust bin job
