DIY Jointer Planer (Ryobi RPN 780) or other

This video shows how to build DIY bench top jointer planer from start to finish.
For most of my projects I am using scrap wood or pallet wood which is not always straight. So I have built this rig to help me make the wood straight.

Planer used for this project is Ryobi RPN 780

Thank you from US. I’m attempting one and really like some of the ideas you shared.

The elastic band bladegaurd was a simple, genius idea. Great vid!

I was looking for ideas for my ryobi planer to turn into jointer when when needed and thanks to you I have found them! I built a work bench with a sliding extension on one end. I just slide out when I need to and put my MDF secondary top with my router, and now my jointer. Thank you so much Will from Australia

Hmmm... well... this video definitely deserves a comment. Love the blade guard btw. Well done :)

I like your conversion !!! It’s really professional!! ThankYou for your time

Esta perfecta, y muy bonita💪💪💪. Hasta ahora no e visto un carpintero con ideas locas como la mia. Solo le faltan dos guías horizontales la instale con guias en la sierra de cinta.😅😅

Looks like a plan I'll be saving to my ideas folder, for sure!

[MarkThomas]

Wow!! You should really do more videos. Love how you explain things and why you are doing them.. Excellent work..

[jejkobprodukcje]

Awesome. Good job. I also want to build something like this.

Thank you for a nice video! I want to make it!👍

Great build mate. I just finished up my jointer build today using a Ryobi and your video as inspiration. I had some left over formply from my workbench build (Pask Makes workbench) so I used it as the fence and infeed/outfeed table. Should last the distance. I'm very happy with the outcome. Thanks again. :)

It's awesome, but isn't the outfeed table supposed to be slightly higher than the in feed?

im not an osha expert, but i dont think you should be working on a jointer with your gloves on, just a friendly tip:)

You could just 3d print a new plate that sits in a recessed top plate

Nice solid build. I don't mean to be a dick but the only thing that needs to be square is the fence. Of course, there's no harm in building it as accurately as possible but this seems massively over engineered.

I built one today with two oak legs bolted to the front guide, which I clamp into the wood vice, with the handle as the 3rd leg. I squared it up in the vice, then added a cross brace, which will ensure it's square every time I clamp it in (sits on top of clamp jaws). Then mounted the fence to the legs, using the plainer top as a guide & making sure it is square.

If I need to use it, I clamp it into the wood vise. If I need to use the plainer normally, I just unscrew the two bolts & it pops out. The key is the two 90 degree slots on the front, which, with the bolts, hold the legs perfectly square & secure.

Not saying there's anything wrong with building & sorry to be a know it all. Just thought my idea could save people time, effort & materials, for the same end result.

Why does the in-feed table need to be adjusted? Shouldn't it always be level with the planer base?

Excellent tutorial! One minor critique; next time turn the background music way down—very difficult to make out what you’re saying.

[mikekristin]

I would happily pay you if you could make a cut sheet up for me. I want to build this but I'm not great at all the measurements

[markjarman]

Great idea 👍 but is your square square 😃
