My wife bought me a Dewalt DW735 planer for my birthday and Christmas last year. It’s too heavy to pick up and carry around so, I built a table to roll it to where it is needed.
I planed some 2x4s to give me a flat side on each one. The 2x4s were then glued together to create legs for the table. I then ran the legs through the thickness planer to square the legs up. Several 2x6s were planed down to 1-inch and then glued together with TiteBond III Ultimate to create the tabletop.
The rim boards around the top and bottom of the legs are 2x4s milled down to 1 1/4-inches. The top legs are attached with screws and the bottom braces are attached with pocket screws. The tabletop was attached to the leg assembly with pocket screws.
I ordered some 3-inch heavy duty casters from Amazon to put on the bottom of each leg. The casters swivel and are lock to prevent the table from moving around while in use.
To use the planer, I roll the table to the door of my shop and extend the 4-inch flex hose to the outside of the shop area. A POWERTEC 3-micron dust filter bag is attached to the hose to catch all the sawdust.
My assistant, who is my wife, was always complaining about how hard it was to empty the bag when it was full so, I ordered a new bag this year. This in the new version of the POWERTEC Dust Filter Bag that filters to 1 micron and has a zippered bottom to ease emptying the bag. The bag also has a clear side panel to view the level of the sawdust to ease in determining when to empty the bag.
Instead of disposing the sawdust in the trash, we use it from mulch around the azaleas. This saves the landfill and also saves us a few dollars on buying mulch.
The table is 20×20 inches and 24 inches tall.
