Flip Top Tool Stand

Good job. It will serve you well. Ha ha, I had the same problem with my sander, the HF model.

Looks great. Glad to see this project. I like having the knobs on all four corners. I have the same sander and am considering that planner. Did you turn it sideways for any reason or is that the only way it would fit.

Nice Job. Looks like a great space saver. Just an idea for the washers and small parts for the sander, you could build a small drawer or box with a lid and attach it to the side of your stand. That way everything is all together and convenient. Just a thought.

Congrats on the new tool stand.

Am currently making the same tool stand. Found ready made plans on Sketchup 3-D warehouse, but included a drawer in bottom for all those loose washers, sleeves, etc.

Hi Bsmith,
The top is 23-3/4” x 24” so they will fit either way. I turned them different directions so that I could get to the carriage bolts easier. This way I have access to all eight bolts without either of the machines getting in the way.

Great job…I have the same sander and I used velcro to make a belt to go over the washers and another for the sanding tubes.

Mine was pretty spartan, but worked just fine. The flip top style works great for small shops like mine…and yours too if you are cramped for space.

I actually have your cart marked in my favorites! :)
I have been looking at these for quite a while. There are so many variations it was a bit overwhelming.
I chose the Shop Notes version because a kind member here helped me by providing the plans.
I had originally wanted to build two. The second would be for my miter saw and my scroll saw.
I share the garage with my wife’s car, water heater, and washer/dryer. Space is a premium so we will just have to see if that materializes.

Very good. That’s exactly what I need to do with almost the same tools. I have the little Delta planer though…
