Planer and Jointer Cart | One Sheet of Plywood

This planer and jointer cart can be made using one sheet of plywood! Besides gaining valuable shop space with this combined cart, I also gain mobility. This single cart, which has a smaller footprint than the two old stands combined, is on wheels which allows me to move it around as needed. If it is a nice day outside I can open the garage door and shoot the planer ships outside...but if it is a cold winter day I can easily position it inside where the chips will fall on the shop floor.
For this build I used plain 3/4" plywood. This gives it plenty of strength and is cheaper than cabinet grade plywood. Honestly, I had planned on using some left over paint from some past projects...but when it came time to paint it I discovered I had already used it on another project. So, I just left it unfinished. I added 6 locking casters I picked up from Harbor Freight. Weight wise 4 would have worked, but I was concerned with the cart bowing in the middle from the weight of the planer and jointer. While this is a basic, and not uncommon, design it will be a great addition to the shop! After about two years of being on my "to-do-list" I can finally check this project off!

Nice build - very clean. I will be doing something similar for my shop.

Thanks! It has worked great...wasn't too complicated. Good luck with your build!

Nice build Mr. Parson's! Exactly what I am looking for in my planer/jointer cart. I think I am going to do something different with the casters and put not slip on the bottom of the cabinet with lift casters on the corners. I will send you a pic of the build once it is complete. Thanks for putting this together...straight forward and not overly complicated!

Thanks! It has served me and my shop very well. Good luck with your build. I'd be very interested in seeing how it comes together.

Nicely done. Everybody is pushing flip top carts but I am going to go this route so I can add drawers. My shop space isn't infinite, but I'm no so cramped that I can't have two to four new mobile carts around.

Yea, I thought about the flip cart but I just don't really care for them for some reason. It is kind of nice that both my jointer and planer are out and available. Thanks for watching!
