Flip top tool cart

nice spacesaver Ed – I’ve got to make me one of these bad boys for my RAS (rather heavy!) Did you have any trouble counter ballancing your planer?

Ive had one for yrs out of shopnotes. Works well, I have the same planer and a 12 inch slider which work well together.

Nice work.

Doesn’t take but a few times hauling the planer out to make you realize you need one of these.

Great project!! I built one of those about 3 years ago to put my planer & sanding on. I have since removed my sander as when I flip to planer down, the unit roll nicely under one of my work benches. Keeps it nicely tucked out of the way that way. I actually need to make 2 more…..someday…

Great job!
I have one as well.
Same planer but I have my Sanding Center on the other side.
I have a small shop so this was a must for me.
Enjoy!

Colin, It was not hard the balance the planer all I did was center both planer and saw. When all wing nut are loose and eye bolts are out of the groves the top stays in place until I flip it. I got this from shop notes also and it doesn’t take long to build.

Thanks for the comments.

Nice work on your flip cart. I have a Ridgid Planer and Sander on the one I posted here few months ago. It’s a good way to save space in the shop.

Nice work. I just built one last year. Love that it takes so little space. Next thing is to add some wings that can fold up and down for support.
