Rikon 25-135H - Brandywine - 06-26-2021
Hi
I’m new here.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Rikon 25-135H portable planer?
Pros?
Cons?
Thanks

I wouldn't be surprised if the Rikon is a kissin' cousin to this:

I have no experience with either. Rikon may be a better bet for parts and service.

I don't own a Rikon 25-135H but I would be concerned that the 26 cutters on the helical head are steel, not carbide. They are only 2 sided - not 4 sided and cost $6.50 each to replace. ($6.50 x 26 = $169)
Rikon offers carbide replacement cutters for $10 each but they are only 2 sided as well.
