Mount the planer to a piece of 3/4" Birch plywood and then you can center the weight over the main support track....just a thought.

[@dvxman72]

My thoughts exactly.

[@Joeshmofoshoyo]

As I watched the video, thats exactly what I kept thinking, hoping he would reach that conclusion.

[@edjones8706]

Ditto. Mount to ply first

[@STV-H4H]

But this then means the whole thing is another 3/4” higher. I did that very thing when I attempted this, but using my dewalt job saw. An idea I shortly scrapped, the added height, the stand alone was itself too high, mostly for in/out feed requirements.

[@larrys639]

@@STV-H4H I agree....the whole setup is too high- If it were me, I would cut about 6"- 8" off the bottom of the legs and pop the feet back on - I dont want a planer 3' off the ground. Richard just wants to utilize the stands he has- I would want to as well!

[@stevenbartholomew9749]

Add a piece of 3/4" plywood under the planer, then screw the brackets to the Ply... then you can center the load over the base, and it would raise it up a bit to maybe work with your work supports

[@hoodoocreek2783]

I added a piece of 5/8 cdx on the bottom of mine using the bolt holes for mounting to a bench. I did that to help protect the aluminum base from cracking / chipping. The plywood edge extends out beyond the base and is rounded over with a router. I'm going to implement this idea, but mount those brackets to my plywood base.

[@messylaura]

i'd add a hollow round bar to the inside of the clamp where the bolt passes through so you can tighten it and not have any chance of the clamp crushing in, this could happen on a very small scale with vibration causing the nut to loosen, also where the nut is you could add a 45 degree bracket to go to the 45 degree plate section where the lifting handles are, 100% wobble free then.

[@JackStevenson5045]

Looks great! You always have good ideas. I always learn something. Thanks.

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

Gotta love getting your power tools up at a good ergonomic height. Plus it utilities the stands you’v already got, win!

[@kenkre1212]

Awesome idea!!!! I've wanted to add a planer to my tool trailer and this is the solution. Only I will use the larger stand which I already have. Wow. Super solution for me. Thanks

[@risingtides3196]

Great idea. I've been considering an efficient, space saving way to set up my planer. I've been thinking about building/buying something new but I never actually thought about being able to use my miter saw stand for this purpose. Thanks!

[@WilliamJaeggiJr]

Much respect. Like a true tradesman, you're always trying to find creative solutions to a problem. Keep after it!

[@ericservin6309]

Lol. "The whistle of approval." Thanks, made my day.

[@jakematic]

Awesome setup brother. Nice for a change to not see a board pushed or pulled through a planer 😂👍👍

[@learningcoach1]

Love this video! ingenuity through investigation is awesome. its always exciting to see the idea in your head come to life!

[@a_w_bukhari7579]

Great idea, Richard! The brackets should come prebuilt into all dewalt tools maybe. Thanks for testing it out for us.

[@bryanhall9996]

I'd think the dewalt rollers for their stands would be perfect for this? I'd never take my planer to site but do love the creativity that comes from business and financial security!

[@TheDannytre]

I love your garage! It’s like mines lol. Tools everywhere! 🤩

[@daryldavirro4237]

Nice job dude. Great idea

[@4funksakes]

I like the content you put out its inline with always improving on self and striving for excellence.

[@stephenyenulonis8414]

Nice work! I did similar to my tablesaw. The built in out feed is awesome.

[@jayrob7418]

Great job Sensei as always. 🙏

[@brianyeaney48]

You sure do come up with some great ideas

[@michaelplays2449]

Nice set up Richard

[@jameshicks101]

For the outfeed support, I would suggest also adding a piece of sheet metal angled down to prevent snagging your board so it doesn't get stuck in the planar.

[@williamcassleman5822]

I have been thinking about doing this with my dewalt lunchbox planer for years. Dewalt makes roller supports for the miter stands btw.

[@KMCGamer]

I don't even do any kind of carpentry and I still watch these videos for some reason 🤣

[@theshiyal]

I don’t do much of it, but I enjoy hearing his thought process and watching him do the work. I’d rather watch this guy do stuff than watch most Pro Sports.

[@louis3998]

Cool set up

[@danahirtle6539]

That’s a wicked idea

[@aaronbrown7218]

Mount the planer and brackets to a piece of plywood. Done.

[@matthewhoffman9242]

I was going to say that and he could possibly use the standard saw horse wing pieces for the in and out feed

[@dalesworld1308]

Ditto my thought.

[@rickwashek478]

I would mount planer to a mobile base. I have had that planer since it came out. Trust me as the years add up you will not want to be picking it up all the time. Father time will win as always. I like your creative idea's.

[@TrevorDennis100]

Rick, have you invested in a helical head yet? We are considering getting one for our 735, and feedback would be useful.

[@rickwashek478]

Trevor Dennis, no I haven't tried those cutter heads.

[@omnibuildersnz]

Yeh nice!! Think it'll be good for most things just makes me weary to put a 4 inch slab through but for trim stuff itl be mint!!!!

[@jefferyholland]

First thing that popped into my mind when you wanted to mount that planner was to attach a pc of plywood on the bottom and then fix the brackets to that. Probably a 100 ways to mount that thing.

[@michaelmancini5773]

I admire you're willingness to try different things with tools and trimwork ( outside of the box), in this case "I" would just buy the planer stand and adapt a good run off table.

[@danpiekarek1488]

I have though of the same kind of thing but with a Bosch T4B gravity rise stand for miter saws. It is more robust and has the advantage of wheels. But, it would make for about 180 pounds of contraption.

[@JesusMartinez-bx8dh]

loyal to your channel like always.!

[@John-vf9py]

It would be nice of one of these manufactures were able to shed some weight off the planer. Also for the planer I would use the Bosch gravity-rise table saw stand.

[@chrisjohnson6765]

Weight equals stiffness and accuracy relative to reasonable cost,

[@robavis4906]

out in the garage and yard playing with toys. Good toys. I do the same thang. Good idea

[@NathanTalbertWoodworking]

just ordered the table saw stand (dw7440rs) hoping to do something like this. that sucker is on wheels so no more carrying that beast around.

[@dalerounds4036]

Thought about doing this with mine,but ended up to high for my liking. Mounted instead on a fold up rolling table saw stand.

[@CurtisSmeltzer]

use a file and may square holes for the carriage bolts!

[@nevermindthebull0cks]

That planer is pretty heavy, I used to keep mine tucked away under a shelf in the shop. Then age caught up a bit and I put it on a wheeled mobile base I built where I don't have to lift it anymore. I don't think having something that heavy off center is a great idea. The people saying to use plywood have the right idea. My advice would be, stay young and invincible, then you can do whatever you want:)

[@STV-H4H]

I mounted mine to a lower shelf in the rolling table saw bench I built, same reason. Too heavy to want to have to lift.

[@readtheinstructions1407]

Get a spacer for in between the bracket. Edit: I would even consider running a threaded rod from one support to the other. Nice job.

[@kenkre1212]

and a bushing inside the brackets so they don't crush. I would go for your idea plus the bushings. Just what I need. =)

[@amateurvegan2636]

Hi, just an idea to improve on what you’ve done: You could use threaded road with washers and bolts either side of the brackets to increase the shear strength and make it a whole lot more ridged. Would be a quick and easy improvement potentially ?

[@ethanboggio3314]

"This will be a dream planer set up. To go with my dream saw set up!" as his dream girl walks into the frame! Ashley's timing was perfect!

[@bobvrnr]

You're such a dreamer!😆 I would cut a dowel to fit the bracket, should adjust to right height.

[@chrisjohnson6765]

Bob Varner So is the Dewalt lunchbox planer. The stiffness of this model makes it a little more durable for job site use.

[@simenmary4121]

I love your tool reviews im thinking off buying the Milwaukee finishing nailer but im more off a dewalt fan tho but milwakee is also great from builder in Norway

[@MillisConstruction]

Now that’s awesome 😎👍🏻

[@CharlieM1219]

Bet he can make a new adjustable end piece that works! In the meantime, why not make a wood one?

[@strugglebytheday1257]

Try a Keter folding work table. Amazon has the best price, I have several and love them.

[@necrojoe]

I mounted my DW735 to a Bosch Gravity Rise miter saw cart/stand. I mounted a plywood panel to the brackets, then screwed the planer down to the plywood. Hasn't failed me, and it's been about 6 years. You might want to consider that, so that you can better center the miters weight over the beam, rather than cantilevering over.

[@dokmanian]

Dealt makes rolling ends for that stand DW7027

[@timellis9293]

The track tubes will work, you just need to turn them sideways and trim the height of the bracket you tighten the knob down on . But if you mount the planer to a piece of finished plywood like Larry S mentioned in his comment you probably wont have to since it would sit 3/4" higher.

[@oldaxehead655]

You should buy the DEWALT DWX726 to just roll it around. At 92lbs this is not something to be played with. Set it and forget it. There's also a few nicer stands with rolling support, in fact you can add them to your stand if you wanted to, but some come with them.

[@pearl123451]

Try fastening a board to the bottom of the planer and then the mechanism that fastens to the track to the board

[@albertoliver2450]

Nice 🔥💪

[@martyjosephson4937]

Loosen the knobs and rotate the track tube horizontal, then move up slightly

[@jeffreyeiford2750]

AWSOME

[@ojmcbaggins]

I have the same setup, except I cut out a piece of plywood to mount the planer to the brackets.

[@DrewToner]

It might help if you flipped the brackets around, so the weight of the motor was overtop of the stand, rather than hanging off the other side! I've had to modify all my tools, some what, they all live on mobile bases now. When you work in a single car garage, mobility is key!

[@jarroddavis4025]

That is exactly what I thought. Based on the Dewalt Miter saw instructions - the way you are oriented to the machine then he put these on backwards. Its meant to reach over the machine and crab the black handles. They arent supposed to be towards your body based on the way your grab them to release. I am about to try that now. I was looking through the comments to see who noticed that then who has tested it. If not, I will.

[@ChadMHenry]

Kinda bad idea, but best idea is to keep planer at center due to balance of weight, and good idea to have roller on it as well, how about toughbuilt sawstand? Check it out TB-S550 or TB-S600 but TB-S600 would highly recommend

[@symposes]

Is it possible to rotate the track tube 90 degrees in place? it looked in the shots that you could roll the tube and lower it and get closer to the right height with the planer infeed table. Perhaps you should reach out to your friend to make track tube feed rollers

[@JoseGarcia-yk9us]

Do the truck tour

[@st7650]

Looks great wish you was my neighbor so we could hang out have a lot of the same interest. I hate to see a WindsorONE go through the planner though. Wish you could have used different scrap material. Lol.

[@rwmagnus]

I like Larry’s S’s idea of mounting it first to a piece of wood. If not then put a piece of wood in the hollow end of the Dewalt mount. That way you’ll have contact points through the entire mount which will be much stronger have it currently.

[@Atmaxwell20]

Can you turn the track tubes sideways, so they are parallel to the ground? Looks like there is a bolt that goes through the center of it, so you’d need to drill a hole through it, but that might make it low enough!

[@carld9117]

you could have attached to the stand to keep them aligned when you were drilling second bracket

[@Martin-xr1mo]

I see the weights in the background, do you lift Bro? Nice video!

[@justgregnow]

Just an idea. Attach a long 3/4 piece of lumber to the dewalt mounting brackets. Make the 3/4 piece of wood the length of the planner mounting holes. Now you can mount your planner using the the holes provided.

[@lolocstr]

How you liking the 12" milwaukee miter saw?

[@Pistol_Knight]

I might be a bit off base here but why not bolt/screw a piece of ply to the brackets to enable you to just lift the Planer onto it you could make sliding stops on slots to clamp the plane in place that way you could mount it central, or am I underthinking it!

[@gregorylondos534]

Nice try, it looks like it is cantilevered more opposite the elevation crank/wheel. Being offset like that I would be worried that it could tip over at some point. Putting extra stress on your mounting brackets. My suggestion would be to add a mounting plate so that the planner is centered over your tool stand. Greg

[@caroledevlin5185]

For the second mount, what not just place the stand upside down on ti for alignment? Why didn’t he press the mounts firm to the bottom of the stand so there would be no wiggle?

[@metal4life1966]

Very nice 👍

[@fortagband8262]

Just C.A.glue the bracket on. Who's got time to do all that drilling.

[@ethanboggio3314]

Now that was funny!

[@josephdestaubin7426]

Lol. The first thing I need to do is lift this thing... I feel your pain man.

[@shadowman3320]

Good idea, but I think all that outboard weight is going to take its toll over time.

[@noisycricket3956]

Is there a routing table you recommend?

[@cybersash1983]

What kind of treadmill do you have? Is it safe to keep it in a garage? Any issues? Thanks Richard!

[@Everythingisgoingtobealright]

Cool

[@gsauve3908]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍ten STARS up there Richard

[@harrygirgin9093]

I feel your struggle. Its not easy doing work at homes when you need workshop full of tools onsite. Basically a mobile workshop. Just an idea to invest into festool mitresaw saw and its setup.

[@arth.4196]

Where did you get the short stand, please.

[@LJBevensII]

I'd be very concerned with mounting that much in a cantilever position and only supported by small bolts through the base webbing of the cast pot aluminum. I would devise a method of centering the machine on the stand to distribute the weight more evenly. The pot aluminum webbing (in my opinion) is not that terribly strong for lateral stress and having countersunk the holes to accommodate the stove bolts, further weakened it in those spots more. With moving the machine on and off and the constant vibration while operating it may create cracks and eventual failure. Maybe as Aaron below has said, mount the brackets on some 3/4" ply. I would then drill blind holes with a forstner bit the size of the rubber feet of the planer so itcan sit centered on the stand. Just a thought.

[@richfrieler4871]

get a piece of ready rod or all thread take your bolts out and run one piece of rod all the way through with nuts on all sides of brackets will be stronger

[@G0F15H]

You know Dewalt makes a portable table saw stand right? The saw mounts with those same quick release brackets, but it breaks down so compact that I never even remove it. I see no reason why the planer couldn’t be attached to that stand, then just use a sawhorse for an outfeed support. You don’t need support on both sides if all you’re doing is running trim boards through to skim off the primer or paint. Probably the same amount of time to set up but far more secure for that planer. And you’ll be glad it’s on wheels if you need to leave site for a quick errand or get caught in a pop-up shower and need to yank everything into the garage

[@ChuckBronson100]

Why not bolt a board or 2” x 4” to the top of the bracket?

[@walter6655]

Hola, me imagino que hablas español. Así que va mí pregunta. Quiero comprar una sierra de mesa DeWalt FlexVolt, es para cortar melanina. Le van los discos de 8 1/2? Te pregunto porque no se consiguen muchos discos de 8 1/4 con varios dientes para un mejor acabado. Gracias...

[@edwardbadlands8621]

That’s a skookum choocher ! Hey you know DeWalt is going to hire you away as a development innovation engineer!

[@brianyeaney48]

Nice

[@bufunga]

A simple piece of ply between would have done it too.

[@billystray7007]

There is a different stand dewalt makes for a table saw that ive seen work much better and bonus it has wheels

[@royalvarez6436]

Richard, I appreciate your ingenuity; however, the planner is designed as a balanced load machine over the four contact points. By cantilevering the load as the brackets do, you create an unbalanced load where the torque is being supported by the rear locking mechanisms or two points of load bearing. Given the excessive vibration produced by the planner, it is set for failure. Proceed with caution-stay safe.

[@johnbaxter6494]

Can’t you just rotate the track tube to the horizontal position?

[@BillMacfarlane]

Every corded tool I buy gets a Velcro cord wrap attached as soon as I take it out of the box. Few things more annoying (and dangerous) than moving a heavy tool and the dangling cord getting caught on something.

[@michaeldehart648]

It is odd that there are no mounting brackets that center the weight of a mounted machine over the support stand.

[@STV-H4H]

Because these stands are for mitersaws which by design are built with an offset. If the mount were balanced from center someone would have a accident when it would absolutely fail upon first use.

[@louindorato6855]

Dewalt sells longer supports

[@pete8952]

Why not screw it onto a piece of sheet material?

[@michaelc.3812]

If you ran a length of steel all the way from one bracket to the other and then threaded each end, you would strengthen that immensely. From a pesky engineer

[@ieatgreenfleas]

It actually wouldn't do much because the T-frames aren't designed to handle that kind of load.

[@novosib9017]

good for a stationary set up, but i wouldnt use that for a mobile one, those plastic clips are already very cumbersome. Not sure about yours, but the plastic clips on mine dont unclip, you have to manualy push the lever down inside the clip before getting the saw off, cant imagine doing that with a planer.

[@superdplum]

You should build a stand for your table saw and quit working on the ground.

[@rustic35]

Why didn't you just attack something longer to the bracket and just use the mounting holes that are already in the base?

[@austinspiegel1053]

interesting

[@markjarman7819]

The brackets for the table saw are longer.
