Default Rolling cabinet for my planar

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've got a similar Delta planer and I went and bought one of those
cheap Harbor Freight tool stands with the metal legs and wood top for
about $15 and it works just fine. Plenty of storage underneath too.

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.


I ended up raising the height of the planer an inch or so with scrap
wood so that it was at the same height as one of my workbenches so the
bench can serve as an outfeed table. If I need an infeed table, I
just get a roller stand.
