But we are building a stand for the planer.
Dewalt planer stand plans.
For the frame of this project we are using 2 4 lumber.
The dw7350 mobile thickness planer stand is constructed for durability and stability under heavy loads.
This also holds the planer down on the top of the stand.
I figured out that if i stood on the other side i wouldn t have to reach around or through the exhaust tube to grab the wood that s coming out of the planer.
Get the plans from fixthisbuildthat here specs may vary.
Or just buy a delta planer with a stand then you wont need the plans g still freezing my butt off in the cold snowy pocono mts.
This design was inspired by brad at fixthisbuildthat and he s got plans available for this build if you re interested.

Dear first lady of the forest thanks.
If i were routinely planing large heavy pieces of lumber then i would add some internal braces to the box to make it stronger but would also lose that storage space.
The outfeed side comes out a bit further and i put precisely cut pieces of maple between the melamine bed and the top of the stand as spacers.
Ok let s get dirty.
But i have one suggestion.
The stand was designed to be easy to make and strong enough for what i will use the planer for.
