I saw that Bas recently posted about the flip-top stand that he made for his shop so I thought I would throw mine in as well. I don't have a tool for the other side yet, but I am scheming  .   |

Great looking stand, but details, I need details!  What did you use for an axle? I like the big knobs, those must come in handy with a heavy tool like a planer. What holds the platform in place? Love the trim on the platform shelf. 
I've been thinking about making a second fliptop cabinet for my planer. My Ridgid measures 20.5" high, which means I'd need to make it very tall to flip it - not practical. How tall is the Delta one?

Go buy a sander, or hollow chisel mortiser, or grinder, get something! Unused tool space will destroy the fabric of time and space if left unfilled.

Bas,
Thanks for the compliments. The axle is 1/2" drill rod. It is sandwiched between 2 layers of 3/4" birch plywood on either side of 1/2" plywood. It spins between 2 bearings (1/2" ID x 1 1/4" OD). The bearings are press fitted in 2, 8/4" Hard maple rails. The rails are joined to the sides with bolts into threaded inserts. The bolt holes are oversized to allow for adjusting the swing of the table. There is a 50 lb bag of sand in the base to help keep it stable while swinging. The edging on the table is Brazilian Cherry (left over from our house flooring). I got the inspiration from a Dominic Greco, who posts on another site. As for the tool on the other side I am trying to decide between the Ridgid OSS or a belt/disc sander. Thanks again.

For a planer stand, I think using a double layer of 3/4" ply was the right thing to do. Those things are heavy! Yours is very nicely executed, that's a great color for the base.

Thanks for the details. I need to do a project with bearings, all sorts of cool applications for those.
