Mobile Planer Cart

Take your milling to a new level. This cart creates a workstation for organizing parts while planing.

A thickness planer allows you to work with lumber in thicknesses you can’t find in a hardware store or home center. Portable planers, sometimes called lunch box planers, like these are a common choice for many woodworkers. But there’s one issue with them — they’re just too darn heavy to really fulfill that portable part. That’s where the cart shown here comes in handy. No more backbreaking lifting as you lift your planer in and out of storage, and since it has wheels you can move it anywhere you’d like to accommodate any length of board. Every bit of space in the shop is valuable, so we’ve made sure that every inch of space in this cart is utilized. There are two large drawers for storage of common shop supplies. Folding side wings provide extra work space (when you need it), and an on-board planing sled is perfect for small, thin boards that would otherwise be unsafe to run through the machine. To get the build rolling, it’s time to head to the shop and start breaking down plywood.
