Community Reviews
Ridgid's 6 inch jointer comes across as a solid, easy to use shop machine for small stock, especially if you want a brand new unit delivered free. The price is viewed as fair for new, and the machine is described as square, not too heavy, and a good home shop fit, with a Shelix head and mobility base as useful upgrades. The main knocks are the small 6 inch capacity, corded power, and limited spare parts availability. It is a practical short bed jointer, but the size and support limits matter.
Common Questions (5)
$549 is a solid price for a new 6" Ridgid jointer, especially with free delivery. A few comments note it has been cheaper in the past or available used for much less, so the value depends on whether you want new-in-box convenience versus hunting for a used machine.
A 6" jointer is limited for wider stock and is best suited to shorter boards or smaller projects. It can still be useful as a home shop machine, but it is not ideal if you regularly need to flatten or edge-joint wide lumber.
Yes, a Shelix head can be installed and is described as a worthwhile upgrade. The machine is also light enough that a mobility base is recommended for easier shop movement.
Parts availability appears limited on Ridgid's website, and missing components on a used unit may be hard to replace. That makes completeness an important check if you are considering buying used.
It is corded, not cordless. That makes it a poor fit if you wanted battery-powered use away from an outlet.

RIDGID introduces the 6 Amp Corded 6-1/8 in. Jointer/Planer. Durably made, it features a heavy-duty induction motor that is totally enclosed to help prevent sawdust contamination. Considerably quiet for its 1 HP motor, it makes smooth cuts safely with the assist of a blade guard and push blocks. Its versatile dual bevel fence features stops at 45 degree , 90 degree , and 135 degree . The tool sits atop a rugged, wide-stance cabinet with on-board storage for blade alignment tools and accessories. A long, handy, 45 in. tabletop gives greater support to large pieces. Backed by the Industry Leading Lifetime Service Agreement, the 6 Amp 6-1/8 in. Jointer/Planer includes a steel cabinet and an operator's manual.

A cast iron tool with rust/pitting often means I'm going to be able to talk their price down.
