Ridgid R4300 Planer: rattling noise from inside when I switch on.

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 14:50:20 -0700

When I turn switch on to use planer there is a rattling noise like something is loose coming from inside. I removed the vacuum port and cover but didn't see anything loose. Was going to remove the switch cover to look inside there so I removed the top screw of the cover and need to know where the bottom screws are because the switch comes out at the top but is hung up at the bottom. Didn't want to try to much because I don't was to damage it. The planer works great and cuts really well just don't want to keep using it in case something got inside of it. I purchased this unit used.

I am planning down 9 pieces of mesquite using my father's planner (I have never used one before) for an urn for his ashes. I started at about 3 inches and I am down to almost 3/4 inch with a goal of 1/2 inch. I changed the blades a couple of days ago and everything was working well until today when it quite feeding. What should I address first with the feeding issue?

Ridgid R4300 Planer: Why my planer wont raise for a thicker piece

Sun, 11 Mar 2018 17:03:24 -0700

My Rigid planer spent the winter under my shop lean to. When starting it up this spring, the motor will run but the thickness adjustment will not move. I took the sides and bottom off and the chain was slack and had play. The adjustment rods would not turn when I tried to turn them with my fingers.
