Mobile Planner Cart with Self Contained Chip Collection

By | Tools, WoodWorking, Workshop | No Comments

This is a video of a simple cart I built to hold my DeWalt 13 inch, DW735X Planer.

 

I don’t have a lot room in my shop and I wanted something that was self contained (ie collects the chips generated from the planer with out a separate duct collector).  I searched YouTube and the net and came across “The one minute workbench” (video linked here). In his video, Tommy builds a real nice cart for his planner and jointer, but what I really liked was his chip collection system.  So I copied the idea and built a simpler cart and a cheaper cyclone chip collector for my planner.

 

See the links on this page or in the YouTube description if you are interested in building something similar.

 

I have no plans for the cart as it is a simple box made with 2 by 4’s.

I’ve added the STL file for the cyclone to hose adapter in the downloadable file section on this page if any of you want to print it yourself.  I used PLA which shrinks a little after cooling which made for a tight fit.  You may need to sand the inside of the adapter a little to make it fit better or apply a little heat to the adapter from a heat gun.
