DEWALTPlaner Stand with Integrated Mobile Base, 24” x 22” x 30” (DW7350)

The stand was delivered when promised, in its original packaging with some minor punctures. The components were very well packaged and protected with no missing parts. The assembly instructions were very limited, certainly not the best but they just barely got the job done. The stand was fully assembled with the fasteners left slightly loose. Then all were tightened and the stand became very sturdy. Fit of the components was excellent. Once completed I was able to mount my new Oliver HCX 13” planer using the pre-existing holes in the table. Overall a very nice, easy to move base with included storage shelf. Great job Dewalt, sorry I didn’t buy your planer. Five stars - Easily recommend!!

This is a very sturdy frame on casters that is designed (and perfect for) the DeWalt series of thickness planers. The packaging was terrific - in particular the hardware (carriage bolts, lock and flat washers, nuts, and and screws are provided in separate packages associated with each stage of the assembly. The large structure pieces are clearly identified. For the most part assembly is straightforward requiring only a ratchet with 13mm socket (long would be better), a 13mm open-end wrench and a Philips head (they call it cross-head) screwdriver. My only issue is that I found the instructions a bit vague when describing (a) the alternative mounting options (inboard or outboard) for the movable caster wheel and (b) the installation of the rubber leveling feet. For the caster wheel it wasn't clear to me how the brake pedal was to be positioned and for the leveling feet no mention is made of the need to double-nut them so that (as the users manual states) two (of the three) nuts can be loosened in order to adjust the feet. These are small nits, I know, but it did take me some time to puzzle through when a few more words in the instructions would have been welcome.

I got one of these stands for my benchtop planer and another for my benchtop jointer, and they work great and seem very sturdy and well-made. The picture doesn't show it, but it also comes with a metal shelf that can be attached to the horizontal rails towards the middle of the stand. The foot pedal can be attached either to the inside of the stand as it's shown in the pictures or on the outside. It's more convenient and easier to use if it's on the outside, but it takes up less space if it's mounted on the inside. However, if you mount the optional shelf I mentioned above, then you're better off mounting the foot pedal on the outside because it's hard to reach it if it's on the inside under the shelf.

Despite it’s mobility, the stand is very sturdy. Even when moving heavy loads it is very stable. and for one exception, explain belowed, it was very easy to assemble.After reading several reviews that stated the instructions for the stand were nothing more than an exploded view and a list of parts I was concerned about my ability to assemble it. You see, I am legally blind to the point that under most circumstances, I can’t see much of anything. On top of that, my girlfriend who Usually aids me in assembling things like this hates that type of instructions. Having said all of that, I’m here to tell you that this thing went together slick as snot.I didn’t use the instructions for the entire build with the exception of mounting the static casters. They mount in a kind of funky way that I didn’t expect or could figure out on my own. Fortunately, with only those few parts remaining, my girlfriend was able to figure out what went where. This is where I took exception from the instructions. They show four (4) partially threaded bolts, part N, that are supposed to be used to bolt the machine to the MDS top surface. I use two of those partially threaded bolts to mount the static casters, because I didn’t like the idea of using fully threaded bolt as an axle for my casters. I wanted my casters to roll on the smooth grip section of the partially threaded bolt. especially with an excess of 150 pounds being supported by said casters.One last thing. The retractable caster out of the box looks kind of floppy. Don’t worry, when it’s installed properly it works just like it’s supposed to.All in all, it took me about three hours to lay everything out, figure everything out and put it all together. so I feel like the average DIYer should have no problem assembling this mobile stand.
