Planer & Miter Saw flip Cabinet

Ken, thats a neat idea.

Really Nice!

Do you get any side to side “racking” when you pivot the tools?

Ken, that looks really good. I understand about the overkill thing. If something seems too weak to me I’ll beef it up a bit. I thought about making one of these but I’m concerned about how much room is needed to flip the table forward or backward. What’s your experience with it thus far? I know that this tool base is designed to help save space in a small shop but I’m unsure if it will work in mine. To see what I mean you can check out my shop in the shops section. I’m glad to see that this project worked for you.

Very nice & handy!!! I recently bought a bunch of tools from a good old divorce sale. The kind where they had to split the money so they didnt really want that much. Included was an exact replica of this flip table with planer, no miter saw. I like it like that though. The planer hides upside down & I get table space….. very nice!

Very nice Ken!
I can say from experience you will love the convenience of this stand.
nobuckle mentioned a concern about the room needed to flip… I can say just last night I used both miter saw and planner twice (poor planing on my part) and the flipping was a piece of cake. I just make sure I have a hand on the planner when it’s the one on top and I’m about to undo the last lock.
Your gonna love it…

Dude that is awesome. I am impressed. I may have to make one of these.

BTW- your shop looks like it used to be a kitchen. Am I right?

I’ve been wanting to make something like that for quite awhile…

I keep getting hung up on what to put on the other side of the planer! :) :)

Thanks for keeping the ‘itch’ itching! :) :)

I’m looking for a space saver just like that! Nothing wrong with building it like a tank!

@ Plantek: I bet you could design the center of gravity to balance the top so it flips smoothly? You could also add more weight to the light side, but I think moving the COG would work, there’s plenty of room underneath…

Nice job Ken. This one attracts me. Very tempting.

Question: You mentioned it is solid and stable. What makes is so stable? Since there are no front and back, and no braces, what prevents it from wandering side to side?

Best,

This is just what I have been looking for to save space in my shop. Could you send me a copy of the plans? My email is oeikenberry@gmail.com.

Thanks,

-- There is nothing like the sound of a hand plane passing across a board in otherwise quiet shop.

Wow, great idea!!!!

I’d love a copy of the plans, please! Thinking about making one of these for my bench grinder and the belt sander on the flip side.
