Tool cart with a lift mechanism for a planer - perfect tool cart for small workshops.
In today's video I will be making a mobile cart for my planer/ thicnesser that will fit underneath my work bench. When is use, thanks to the car jack, I can use it at a reasonable height in a safe way. This is a perfect storage solution for your bulky tools that normally would take a lot of space. Hope this will give you some ideas and inspiration to improve something in your workshop.

    Very clever! While the setup time is fairly short having to install/uninstall four stop screws each time the planar is used is a bit tedious. If you wanted to do away with the four stop screws, you might consider securing a permanent stop at the top end of each of the pipes above the base plate, then run the lift up until the base plate presses against all four permanent stops. This method means all that is needed is to run the lift up or down and therefore the setup/breakdown time is, significantly(IMO), shorter. Maybe an upgrade video? :)

    I prefer watching videos like this as I can relate to the small space and equipment being used. The videos from America are good, but when they use a $1,000 mitre saw, then move onto an industrial table saw etc in a warehouse-size space, it looks very easy. Tomasz's videos are enjoyable as I guess the majority of us don't endless funds and space to work in. Think I might make one of these lifts, such a space saver

    As someone in the USA that doesn't have a lot of space, I can relate. A lot of the videos made in the US are by people who have been woodworking professionally for years and have built up a business in the craft, thus they have expensive tools and plenty of space. If they live in Texas, they all have a lot of space, because everything in Texas is bigger, or so they say.

    Not sure if you have plans, but I’m thinking of making something similar for my new work bench for the mitre saw. The only difference would be for me to put posts up to bottom of bench so that it secures wobble by resting on plywood when fully extended. I believe my mitre saw isn’t too high so a scissor jack like yours should be enough clearance.

    OMG! I use a vehicle jack to raise and lower my planer too. This is the adapter I could on Amazon: {Dr.Roc Scissor Jack Adapter for 1/2 Inch Drive Impact Wrench or 13/16 Inch Lug Wrench or Power Drills, Scissor Jack Drill Adapter for Impact Drills Socket Automotive Jack RV Trailer Leveling Jack} And here I thought that it is a unique idea I had. My planer is under the surface of my workbench. I just remove a piece of the top surface right above the planer and then raise it up with my drill using the adapter (which I realized later I could have made my own). Great minds think alike!!

    Great idea. I can think of two modifications for it. 1. Put a roof over the planer so when it is fully down, the roof becomes the top of the workbench. You leave it in place and raise and lower it as needed. 2. This is a theory, but I think you can stabilize the top more easily if you add stops on top of the pipes. The board is unstable when raised because it is pivoting on a center point. But, as one corner goes down, the opposite corner is going up. So, stop the opposite corners from rising. By placing some kind of stopper at the top of the pipes with the lift table below them, when you raise the table, the four corners of the table hit the stoppers. Center pressure from the lift keeps the pressure on the four corners so they cannot pivot. Like I said, this is a theory, so if this is still not stable enough for production, it will stop the table at the exact same spot each time so you can plug in your support bolts more quickly.

    Hi and thanks. Already made some modifications. Added tops at the end of the pipes so the lift will hit those stops and there is no need for he hold anymore. I have added some wooden guides underneath the board on which the planer sits and now when raising or lowering there is no pivoting in any direction 👍

    There's only one thing I have changed already. Instead of the screw in knobs to secure the table when it's fully up I just used stops at the top of all the pipes and when the jack is going up it just locks in position by pushing against the stops on top of the pipes. It's so much quicker and easier. And the pressure from the jack against the stops holds everything in place perfectly 👍
