what table should I use to mount this planer>
1417405
I have mine mounted on a universal tool stand. As long as I don't take to deep of a cut per pass, no worries about vibration or having it come off the tool stand. Instead of using a table per say for support on infeed / outfeed, I use a pair of those adjustable roller supports, never had a issue with it

Jack: I have my table saw mounted on a Hi-Lo folding stand (Porter Cable stand, I think). I made a base for the Steel City planer out of 3/4" plywood and put two 3/4" runners under it which exactly match the miter slots in the table saw top. I then just place the planer on top of the saw (in it's low position) and the runners and weight of the planer hold it very stable. I like this combo, since I'm able to remove and stow it when not in use (I have s small shop!). I saw the other comment and it appears mine was not the first to be used this way! I run 6' and 8' boards through without issue. Bill Jack: I have my table saw mounted on a Hi-Lo folding stand (Porter Cable stand, I think).

I would think you could mount this to any sturdy work table that has a big enough surface area. I used mine just sitting on top of my table saw. The planer is fairly heavy and didn't jump around or move at all from the vibrations of the blades turning even though I didn't have it screwed or clamped down to the table. I was also only feeding 3' long 3" x 3" posts through it. Not sure how it would be with longer boards but I can't imagine it would be much different. I'm very pleased with this planer. Definitely worth the price.

Make sure you have installed each leg footing properly, plus the midbrace that comes with it. My table is tight, balanced and perfectly functional. Good luck!

If he made his own router table, he won't need additional parts outside of a few screws. The fixed base will fasten directly to the underside of the table, so long as the gentleman has drilled matching holes centered around the hole the bit will sit through. Of course, he will need longer screws to reach through the thickness of the board, but we are talking pennies here.

I have only used this as a hand held tool. My guess is that you would need to look for an expensive custom table that would allow you to drill mounting holes. It's a lot of router. I have several and it's easily the best of the bunch....bc

You need to purchase a router mounting plate from someone like bench dog. You could cut an opening in the extension table top or buy a cast iron wing from someone else that has a mounting plate built in it. Do a quick Google search and you'll find all kinds of options. The saw is amazing though so good luck

It will require you to secure a base plate to the opposite end of the machine. You can make this base plate from a piece of angle ( aluminum or steel) screwed into the edge of the table. The wood plate attached to the angle and the carriage stop. It will be a pain in the neck changing things so you can use the saw. Can't use this setup for a saw fence. Not stable enough.

Depends on the total surface area...if it is a large surface you may wish to use a planer. However if you have a good amount of time and a good sanding machine it may be OK for your application.

Hi Gary, I don't know if they will fit. What I would do is go to Dewalts web site and look up your planer and maybe they will have the folding tables to fit.. Sorry I'm not much help for you. If you been using your planer without the tables, you will love how it will work with the tables. One more thing, if you find some to fit, I opened up my planer wide enough to put my 4' level throw to get the tables good and level with the bottom of the planer. Just a tip if you did not know. Mine did not have any directions with them. Good luck Gary.

My tables came with instructions. It was really easy. The instructions indicated to remove the planer from the stand but that was not necessary. It was simply a matter of attaching some bolts. I am a 60+ year old woman of average strength and did the installation myself.

I mounted mine a board larger then the grinder, then I use 3 "C" clamps to secure it to my table when I grind meat. You will need a board that is two inches thick, and you will need to countersink the bolt heads on the bottom.

just the table.And you may need to make up mounts depending on the slots in the drill press.

Unless you're planning to do small edge treatments, like small roundovers or chamfers, or narrow grooves, this awesome tool is not a good choice for general purpose table mounting. A better choice would be the ~ 2HP models from major vendors, best would be the 3HP, like the largest Porter Cable or Milwaukee examples.

I love this table. When it comes to routing, I'm a novice but have, in my opinion, produced some really nice wood products like trim that goes around door and windows and a, I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's basically a window box table, a piece of plexiglass is the top and I can place item inside of the table for display. Anyway you shouldn't have a problem mounting a Dewalt router on this table. Also love Kreg products.

This planer stand is very sturdy and handles the weight of my planer with no problem. It's easy to move around and handles the work I do on the planer. In my opinion a work-top table saw should fit and would not be too large to be in the way while stable enough to handle the job.

I havé nô idéal, but i fine Thére are usually Many was to d'ajuster this - such as adding extension brackets. Thé major considération is thé distance between thé table top holes and thé top of thé surface. Tell me thèse dimensions and i CAN tell you IFOP you need d'ajust brackets

Center to center, the legs are ~23", ~24" outside to outside. This is almost identical to the depth of the legs on my "store bought" router table.Yes, these things make a sturdy shooting table, rifle pistol work bench, saw horse, whatever! I say, go for it!I would build a strong perimeter 2x6 (laid flat) frame to mount the legs and table top to since the center must be open to mount the router. You could do an offset mount but that would put the center of gravity off, I think you want the CG working for you so you should center it.

I have the Bosch RA1181 table and use the Kreg featherboards. Maybe I have an updated fence, but they fit fine.
