Hi Fotodog and RyanGi
Thanks for getting back to me fairly quickly!
I’m still on the fence about running the jointer bed perpendicular vs parallel to the axis of rotation, but your replies reduced my concern regarding the jointer bed height to clear the rotation. I’ve also been chatting with Greg of Greg’s workshop on YouTube, who’s table features the same style jointer and a similar planer but in the aforementioned parallel orientation: https://youtu.be/bQocIZlY9MY?si=dJIVgGOgRnj3ZzBU
He told me his jointer bed sits at 39” high. Would you guys be able to measure what height your jointer bed and wood tabletop sit at to give me an idea?
Also more specifically to RyanGi- looks like your planer is the same model as mine, the Dewalt DW735. I’ve been debating whether to run my planer parallel or perpendicular to the axis I run my jointer- since whereas the 12” Cutech jointer only has a listed width of 23.75”, the DW735 needs like 27” because of the crank handle. Looks like you may have swapped over to a star knob for that very reason? But hard to tell in available photo. Would you mind providing more photos of your flip top cart? Also what is the Length and width of the rotating surface? And do you store the dust collector adapter on the planer at all times?
Also what diameter pipe did you use for your rotating axis?
