91 - Planer Stand, страница 18

Make your shop workhorse even more productive with this handy project.

Pound for pound, a portable planer has to be one of the hardest-working machines in the shop. And when you combine your planer with the versatile stand shown above, for you, the work will get a lot easier.

This project starts with a rugged, plywood case that puts the planer at just the right working height. A drawer for accessories, a large open

storage area, and a set of locking casters round out the case.

But the feature that really stands out is the built-in, adjustable out-feed support. The key is that it's only "out" when you need it. When the job is complete, the support swings up over the stand and locks in place for easy movement and compact storage (inset photo).
