The HF ones actually do have two rows of bearings, I was surprised. Hopefully they'll hold up.
I'm waffling now on my direction. The planer cart is basically done minus working on the height, and I went ahead and started on redoing my router table. I made it a lot taller and am doing it the right way this time. However, I'm torn. I look at people with the smaller shops and I'm envious of the big spaces. The more I look at the Ultimate Tool Stand, the more I want to build it. But with a router table already in progress, I don't see the point of having three (with the saw) points for having a router mounted. So I don't know. I'm starting to change my view toward a modular system, but I still don't want to be lifting and toting stuff from down low or up high.
Sigh. I just don't know.
Decided to break down what I like about that system, perhaps that will tell me what I should do.
I like the clamping aspect of the table, the slots built in. I really like that a lot. That might be something I could adapt to a smaller surface. I like that I would be able to push one thing out and it being a nice large surface. But it might be prohibitively heavy. Like that I could use the table as a feed table for both the MS and planer, and I can use it as a crosscut table.
I wonder if I could adapt the design as a 2x4 table instead of a 2x6 table. But if I went this route I would have to severely reduce the height of the router table I'm working on down to about 35-36" instead of the planned 40", because I wouldn't need to fit a flip-top planer cart underneath. I just wish I could see the vision...
