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

My 13 in ridgid planer isnt feeding... .any ideas? Model r4330

Portable thicknesser has all the powered parts in the power planer head including the powered rollers that auto feed the timber under the planer head.
I have never had one apart so I don't know how the rollers are connected to the motor though as the head is so compact it is more likely gears than belt (mine is floor standing and uses a belt) and likely has some sort of overload clutch that will slip in case of an overload.

Whatever the drive system is, it clearly needs repair and that will mean removing and dismantling the power head and when the faulty component is found it might be a good idea to order two to cover future replacements.

Can I level the infeed and outfeed tables on my 6" Ridgid planer/jointer? I don't see such information in the manual.

The majority of jointers even cheap chinese imports have 3" or 4" hand cranks for both infeed and outfeed adjustments. The gibs can usually be adjusted when needed even on cheap jointer planers.
The rigid website has a support page and product parts and manual download.
If the download doesnt work call them and insist that they e-mail or mail a paper copy.
Most jointer planers are somewhat similiar in design and appearance.
Some power tool instruction manuals from competitors may have more complete step by step instructions.

I just inherited a Rigid TP3100 surface planer. Vertical guiding rods have some rust & I can only get a small height adjustment. I just put a little penetrating oil where the rods enter 'sliding...

I can't find a Ridgid TP3100 planer but there is a TP1300 but the fix is the same. Your best bet to remove the rust is to completely remove the rods and clean them with rifle bore cleaner (RBC), steel wool and a lot of elbow grease. You'll have to rub them until all the rust is gone and they're shiney and smooth again. Also check the upper head where the rods slide through to make sure they are clean. An alternative is to replace the rods, they run about $14 each, Ridgid part number 827718.
