Does anyone have a good online source to order these from?
Home Depot doesn't carry them?
I think that the OP may be looking for a source of blades other than from the HD. I myself have been wondering the same thing. :)
Are there carbide blades available for this planer?

I don't know about the knives for the Ridgid Planer but I know Home Depot doesn't carry the knives for the Ridgid Jointer. I just went to buy some to replace the originals which have seen moderate use over the last couple of years. I looked in three HD's in my area and was told by employees in two of them (imagine that, I was able to find a HD employee in two of the three stores) that HD doesn't carry the replacement knives. Since I needed the knives right away I ended going to a Sears which had one package of 6" jointer knives on the shelf. If I had a couple of extra days I would have ordered the Freud knives from Amazon. HD did have replacement knives for the Ryobi planer that I bought there (second HD, first was out of stock). This is my only hesitation with buying Ridgid tools- being able to find replacement parts. For the most part I have been happy with the quality of the Ridgid tools I have purchased- table saw, jointer, finish nailer, and laminate router. I'm even considering the new Ridgid router- 2 1/4 hp fixed/plunge combo. I'm holding out to see if they have a sale soon. Otherwise I may buy the Hitachi combo router from Amazon if they ever list it again- lately Amazon hasn't had it for sale, only the third party sellers on the Amazon site. Does anyone have any idea why Amazon isn't selling the Hitachi variable speed 2 1/4 hp router combo? I think it's the KM12VC kit. Just wondering. Thanks.
