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?

I have the Delta 12" planer with a homemade 3/4" MDF infeed/outfeed
table that is 30 inches long. I made a cabinet that stores 2 power
tools inside of it and mounts 2 on top. 1 of the ones on top is ALWAYS
the planner because it is just to much of a pain to move. The others
are a 16 inch Delta scroll saw, a Rigid oscallating sander and a
Craftsman belt/disk sander. I made the top out of 3/4 Baltic Birch and
overlaid a second piece that has the cutouts for the tools mounts
(they are approximatly 26inX26in). The top overlaps the case by about
3in on each side and the front. The cabinet is about 60in long and
30in wide. The bottom, sides are also 3/4 Baltic Birch that that are
joined with dadoes and the back is 1/2in Birch set in rabbits.No face
at this point tho I do plan to add doors and a couple drawers. There
are no center supports and there is no sag.
