MSUV planer stand?

[Ishmel]

Hello Everyone,

What do y'all think of using an MSUV as a planer stand? I was adding in my head the cost of a couple roller stands, a leg set, and a mobile base, and it looks like I can save some money buying another MSUV and mounting my planer to it. Can anyone talk me out of, or into it?

I think it is a great idea. I have my Ridgid planer mounted on my MS.... make that PUV. I positioned the planer and then drilled new holes in the UV to mount.
It works very well.

LinuxRandal had the thought of using it for more than one tool, then mount each item on a piece of wood and drill holes accordingly.

the main difference is
MS: wood doesn't move
Planer: wood moves.

So plan accordingly

Thanks for the good posts, as always. I posted this at w**dn*t as well and got this very cool link in one of the responses.

It's basically a "do everything" workbench. It has a router table, mitersaw, planer, downdraft sanding table, etc. Very cool, and on my project list.
