Ryobi AP10 hood

[lopez]

I have been looking for a dust collector hood to fit my Ryobi AP10. Have had no luck searching on the web. Does anybody know of a source?

Thanks, Len

You're probably going to have to check with someone locally who bends sheet metal. The AP10 was one of the first, if not THE first, portable planer to come out. Offhand, I can't think of a single one that had a dust hood back 15 or more years ago. I ran through a lot of dust masks with mine.

've been using my AP10 with a ryboi supplied dust hood for about 15 years. Great little planer. Dusthood wasn't the best though. Narrows down to an opening meant for a small shop vac fitting. I've got mine plumbed into by dust collection system and fitted a wooden "donut" into a piece of 4" flexible hose that would go around the dusthood opening. Works pretty well but find that it will occasionally clog up if I'm planing maple (something about the chip size from maple seems to do it).

It's in the June '91 issue. Don't think I have a copy anymore!
