Default Rolling cabinet for my planar

Matt,

What kind of planer? I have a DeWalt, and all the weight is on the four
corners. The dimensions of the stand I built for it were pretty darn close
to the footprint of the planer, therefore, each foot was already directly
over the vertical members (and the wheels). If this is your setup, don't
worry about center support. There won't be any weight over the center.
I've planed 7'x7"x16/4 white maple with no problem and those planks were
*heavy*.




I built the cabinet yesterday, without a center support. Mounted the
planer and all is good. I will add a drawer or two and maybe a tray at
the bottom for my grinder.
