Great piece of equipment. Easy to assemble. Supports planer very well. Very happy with purchase.

Sturdy, Well-Made Planer Stand [Posted on 2008-03-16]
I wanted a heavy-duty stand for my Ryobi AP-10 planer, and later for my new DeWalt DW735 planer, that would be rugged enough for planer operations yet portable enough so I can move it easily around my basement shop. The DeWalt DW7350 more than satisfied my requirements. I'm very pleased with the heavy-duty construction of the legs and cross pieces, and the wheels allow the unit to move only when I want it to. The top, while pre-drilled for the DeWalt planers, easily accommodated my Ryobi planer. All I needed to do was drill four holes and buy four inexpensive hex bolts.

The assembly time took me about 45 minutes and the instructions were simple and straight forward. Most importantly, all the small parts were in thick plastic bags so nothing could get lost.

A few weeks later, when I replaced my Ryobi with the DW735 planer, I just set the planer over the pre-drilled holes and used the attachment hardware that came included with the planer stand. Another plus which I neglected to mention earlier is that the planer stand includes a shelf that comes in very handy for storage.

I've always liked DeWalt products (along with those from Bosch & Porter-Cable) and have a variety of bright yellow tools in my workshop. All in all, the DeWalt planer stand is an excellent and especially well made unit. I would recommend this planer stand to anyone who needs a stable, portable, and trouble-free base for their planer or other bench-top tools.

Great Except for the Instructions [Posted on 2008-03-22]
Even the instructions aren't that bad - at least they are in clear English. I just got the table today, but it seems very sturdy, rolls smoothly, and the parts fit perfectly. If you are putting one together, here are some corrections to the instructions.

1) The packing list says the rubber feet come installed. They don't and you have to figure out how to install them yourself. No big deal once you realize that the parts are in one of the plastic bags and you don't have to go through customer service to get them.
2) They say you need 13mm combination and socket wrenches. You want a 14mm combination and 13mm socket.
3) Take a good look at the orientation of the pre-assembled base in the drawing. Without those feet, it's not obvious which way is up until you start installing the legs.
4) The first time they mention washers (as opposed to lock washers) they really mean lock washers. Trust the part letters, not the text. Everywhere else it was correct.
5) In several places the instructions describe a part as tubular when it is really an angle or "L" shape. It made me wonder if they changed the design to use cheaper but less rigid parts. Still, it seems plenty strong as is.
6) I assembled everything except the lower shelf using the instructions without taking them out of the protective bag. Then it turned out that the shelf was described on a separate sheet which starts with something like "before installing the MDF top". Oops - fortunately, you can fit it in without removing the top.

Still 5 stars - if you can handle a planer you can handle a few instructions flaws. This base will make it possible to get full use from the planer in a shop where I can't afford the space for a permanent location. At one point I intended to keep the planer on a shelf when not in use, but when I realized the weight (almost 100 pounds) I knew that a rolling support was mandatory.

Good stand, horrible instructions [Posted on 2008-05-04]
Heed the advice of numerous other reviews and throw the instructions away! They were written by a technical writer who probably has a hard time with shoe laces. Some of the instructions are simply topologically impossible. Once you figure it out on you own, it goes together fairly quickly. Pieces are milled very accurately and nothing was missing from the hardware package. I might have designed the leg-base attachment differently to be a bit more substantial, but generally it's strong and moves easily around ths shop. But shame on DeWalt for not updating their instructions - a good writer could fix this in a couple hours, including detailed photos.
