Save space in your workshop with the expanding planer table. It folds down to 2’x3’ and expands out to be 8’ long with 3’ of infeed and outfeed.
This design allows you to easily run up to 10’ boards and removes the chance of gouging the ends of you boards in to the planer blades.
This build is perfect for those looking to save space in a smaller shop or garage. Designed for the DeWalt DW735 planer, but includes easy formulas to fit to your planer

- All dimensions in inch and millimeter units
- Color coded 3D images and cut plans so you know exactly where every piece goes
- Easy calculations to fit to your planer

Came out great! Nice plans
The plans made it much easier to build the table. It turned out well. The only issue was after the table was assembled I noticed a very slight bow in the plywood. It is mostly cosmetic but I can still get a lot of work done with it. I also have the same dewalt planer that you have so it worked out perfectly. The plans saved me a lot of time and made the build very easy. Great plans.
I just ordered and downlaoded the plans The plans look thorough enough, however....
The .skp file leaves a lot to be desired. For the $5.00 it costs I expected to get a full and complete drawing like the one that is on the final page of the plans. One that included the casters, outfeed tables (with supports and rollers)
What I got is a rudimentary set of 2 x 4's. I thought maybe it was just this build, so i checked the other downloads i ordered, and they are the same.
Save your money and just draw up a plan in Sketchup using the written ones as you guide
I thought it was very good I have changed a couple of things added a couple of stretchers and then put feet on mine because I didn't want casters that were down all the time but the plans were excellent and I could follow along with the video
Plans seem to be complete, well laid out and look to be easy to follow. I amlooking forward to building it when our cold weather lets me get back in the shop. No shop heater!!
