Cart for Planer

I don't have room to permanently mount my portable planer so I made a cart
to mount it on. I roll it outside when I need it, blow it off and bring it
back in. I got the wheels from Harbor Fright, an axle from Lowes and the
rest is scrap. The planer is fastened down with lag bolts. Pictures in ABPW.
I did something like that years ago when I was working out of part of a
single car garage. My cart had a Ryobi contractor saw on top and a Ryobi
12" planer mounted on a shelf underneath. The saw was a bit too high and
the planer was a bit too low but I didn't know any better at the time. It
worked for what I needed.
Now I have a Robland X-31 that is also, theoretically at least, movable but
a half-ton of iron and steel aren't all that maneuverable but at least now
I have a full garage bay to work in so it doesn't have to move more than
once or twice a year.
