Popular Post Chet Posted June 18, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I have had this small cart that I built for my first lunchbox planer. Then I got the Dewalt 735 and modified the cart to make it work for the new jointer, then I move the jointer and had to make some modifications to make it work in the new location. Needless to say it was becoming a real Frankenstein of a cart and it was small and just a bit top heavy. The other thing that was creeping into my shop was a handful of Festool Systainers. So this last Saturday I decided to remedy both problems with one project. One sheet of pre-finished plywood and six sets of drawer glides later I had this. I tried everything out with the end of my scraps from my dining table build from last year. So at the end of the day I had this. Then this afternoon with some plywood scraps I made this little rack for my sanding discs. I still have to get some finish on it but I used up what little I had on the trim of the planer cabinet. I hung it on the side of the cabinet that hold the drum sander and all my other sanding supplies. I used a french cleat to hang it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Well done Chet, I really like functional good looking shop furniture, have you considered a Wixley digital gauge for in the planer? I put one on my 735 about two months ago and love that thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I haven't really thought about that. I use an igaging block for setting my table saw but never thought about anything for the planer.

gee-dub Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Looks great. Good use of space under the drum sander table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad now that I didn't build the stand for the planer a couple of years ago, when I first started thinking about it because now I would be building it again to accommodate the Festool stash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
