has anyone seen it yet? Sounds good or almost to good to be true.

Yeah, it has been around since about the last millennium.
Is there a new one?

Are you talking about the TP1300LS or a newer model?
I have the 1300, so you could say that I've seen it, I guess...

Check the Ridgid web site for the new three blade model.

Looks like they did some of the same kind of planning with it that they did with the oscillating belt sander--storage for everything including spare blades. If it works as well and the price is right then it should be a winner.

Yeah being able to plane to that thickness is an advantage but you can do that on other planers as well if you simply put a thicker board under the thin one. But if this is not a replacement planer that feature would be a nice one.

The 1300 has storage for blades and comes with all the tools that you need to change blades and adjust the planer, so I'd guess that the new one does too..
I realized after I set up and adjusted the in/out feed tables that I didn't need to dig out any tools, I just didn't notice the "tools" label and little door.. DUH..

Of course like all spelling flames, that one included the obligatory mispelting.
Ridgid Tools is a play on words. The company was first located on Ridge Rd in North Ridgeville and has since moved West.
Regrettably, they have discontinued their famous tool calendars.

and licensed the "Ridgid" name to Home Depot.. Sort of wrenching idea, that, er?

When did they leave Elyria?
The loss of the calendar marks the loss of a piece of Americana

Gone are the freebies, now they want you to pay them for their advertising.
Very good PR

I still see them in the distributors and at those mechanics who purchase direct -- my reading is they're still available gratis if you're a sufficient customer, just not "giveaways" any longer. I kinda' think this has been the case for quite a while now, actually. Not that I would ever have had one in the shop meself, mind you... :)
