I've decided to make one of the ever-popular flip top stands for my planer and Ridgid oscillating spindle sander, similar to this:
Yet Another Flip Top Planer Stand
The issue that I'm having is that the outfeed table doesn't actually fold up, which increases the length of the thing by almost 6". The extra 6" I think would really make the whole thing awkward and use a lot more plywood. One option that I'm considering would be to also have flip up infeed/outfeed tables, similar to this:
Flip-top Planer Cart with infeed/outfeed tables
I'm somewhat concerned about the consistency of the table heights with that setup though. Alternately I could make a single continuous infeed/outfeed table and perhaps clamp it in place when I'm using the planer. Any other suggestions?
