hmm... I'll have to look at the picture again... it seemed like the
planer was only about a foot of the floor...

BTW, how do you like your Delta planer?



I've not used the dewalt much yet, it does leave a very smooth surface,
and except for planing some 1/4" pieces the other day, the dust blower
is quite good. I expect with the dust collector it will be even better.

The 1/4" did suffer bad tearout / snipe, but I understand this is a
funce of the small stuff (1/2" x 1/4") flexing under planing. If I made
a sled, it would have been fine.

Actual height to the bed is about 17" or so, the wheels are about 5" in
total height, then the 1 1/2" of plywood shelves, the height of the
drawer opening is about 9.5" and then the high from the planer bottom to
the bed itself.
