Default Rolling cabinet for my planar

Matt,

I've got my Delta 13.5" planer, which I assume weighs roughly the same as
the Ridgid, on a rolling cabinet. The cabinet is essentially a 20"x34"x20"
(length x height x depth) box made from 3/4" plywood. The top is two 2'x2'
peices of plywood laminated together. There is no flex or sag at all even
after three years.

I put a face frame on the front creating a single drawer and a large
cabinet. I store planer and mortiser parts in the drawer and my mortiser in
the lower cabinet on a slide out tray. I posted a couple of pictures in
A.B.P.W.

Don't have an auxillery outfeed table. I generally rough cut all pieces
before I joint and plane and don't deal with really long pieces. The few
times that has come up, I've had the lumber store plane the boards for me.

Going to build a rolling cabinet for my planar (approximately 2' x
3'). I was thinking about whether or not I need a vertical member
centered in the middle of the cabinet to support the weight of the
machine. Any suggestions? I dont see a way around it. If I do add this
support, I was thinking about adding several drawers to the top
section, and two cabinet doors to the lower half. Any of you have an
outfeed table? What are you fellas storing is this cabinet?
