DW 733 planer, no stand

Check out the plan Wood Magazine has for $9.95. I built it for my 733 and I like it very much. I've never had a problem with snipe. It's on rollers and the extension leafs fold down out of the way.

Cheap buy-it route: A 9.95 generic tool stand and 19.95 mobile from Harbor Freight. Add a piece of scrap plywood to the stand top (it's not quite big enough for the planer and the holes don't align) and you're done.

better look, and skip the plans! GReg

I was thinking a little more elaborate! Greg

I just put it on top of my table saw and use it.

Never mind, didn't read far enough.

All you need is a sheet of 3/4" plywood (I didn't use cabinet grade) and a 3 or 4 foot piano hinge cut into for each leaf and (2) 3 to 3 1/2 foot lengths of 1 inch metal conduit for the removable legs, plus some scraps that you surely have in your shop. You can download the plan for $7.95.

Turn on the saw and plane and rip at the same time!

I used mine on a saw for a while until I found a very easy solution. My neighbors were selling a melamine "microwave cart" for $1 at a tag sale. The car has a cabinet on the bottom and a drawer on top. The whole shebang rides on 2 1/2" casters.

It works so well I haven't bothered to make a "real" planer stand.
