DEWALT Planer Stand with Integrated Mobile Base, 24” x 22” x 30” (DW7350)

The stand was delivered when promised, in its original packaging with some minor punctures. The components were very well packaged and protected with no missing parts. The assembly instructions were very limited, certainly not the best but they just barely got the job done. The stand was fully assembled with the fasteners left slightly loose. Then all were tightened and the stand became very sturdy. Fit of the components was excellent. Once completed I was able to mount my new Oliver HCX 13” planer using the pre-existing holes in the table. Overall a very nice, easy to move base with included storage shelf. Great job Dewalt, sorry I didn’t buy your planer. Five stars - Easily recommend!!

This is a very sturdy frame on casters that is designed (and perfect for) the DeWalt series of thickness planers. The packaging was terrific - in particular the hardware (carriage bolts, lock and flat washers, nuts, and and screws are provided in separate packages associated with each stage of the assembly. The large structure pieces are clearly identified. For the most part assembly is straightforward requiring only a ratchet with 13mm socket (long would be better), a 13mm open-end wrench and a Philips head (they call it cross-head) screwdriver. My only issue is that I found the instructions a bit vague when describing (a) the alternative mounting options (inboard or outboard) for the movable caster wheel and (b) the installation of the rubber leveling feet. For the caster wheel it wasn't clear to me how the brake pedal was to be positioned and for the leveling feet no mention is made of the need to double-nut them so that (as the users manual states) two (of the three) nuts can be loosened in order to adjust the feet. These are small nits, I know, but it did take me some time to puzzle through when a few more words in the instructions would have been welcome.

Despite it’s mobility, the stand is very sturdy. Even when moving heavy loads it is very stable. and for one exception, explain belowed, it was very easy to assemble.After reading several reviews that stated the instructions for the stand were nothing more than an exploded view and a list of parts I was concerned about my ability to assemble it. You see, I am legally blind to the point that under most circumstances, I can’t see much of anything. On top of that, my girlfriend who Usually aids me in assembling things like this hates that type of instructions. Having said all of that, I’m here to tell you that this thing went together slick as snot.I didn’t use the instructions for the entire build with the exception of mounting the static casters. They mount in a kind of funky way that I didn’t expect or could figure out on my own. Fortunately, with only those few parts remaining, my girlfriend was able to figure out what went where. This is where I took exception from the instructions. They show four (4) partially threaded bolts, part N, that are supposed to be used to bolt the machine to the MDS top surface. I use two of those partially threaded bolts to mount the static casters, because I didn’t like the idea of using fully threaded bolt as an axle for my casters. I wanted my casters to roll on the smooth grip section of the partially threaded bolt. especially with an excess of 150 pounds being supported by said casters.One last thing. The retractable caster out of the box looks kind of floppy. Don’t worry, when it’s installed properly it works just like it’s supposed to.All in all, it took me about three hours to lay everything out, figure everything out and put it all together. so I feel like the average DIYer should have no problem assembling this mobile stand.

This cart is amazing and heavy duty. I should have bought a long time ago. Takes a little time to put together but that’s to be expected. Rolls around very easily. Good quality and well worth the money. Bought two and might put a jointer on it. Highly recommended.

This stand is great, once you put it together. Getting there, on the other hand, is another matter.I'm not sure what's going on with this unit, but it's late 2013 and many of the problems that have been widely reported with assembly since at least a couple years ago are still present. Basically, the manual is junk...it won't make a bit of sense and if you follow it, you'll fail. Don't ask me why Dewalt changed the procedure and packaging and hasn't bothered to update the manual in over two years. Just don't even follow it, seriously...the screws are wrong, the procedures incomplete, the wording incomprehensible and there's a poor excuse for a diagram/picture. The stand does come together, and well at that, but it's a journey that manual won't help you a bit on. You won't have to physically modify anything to get there, either, as some have said in the past.The problem is with the base of the stand, everything else is fairly straight forward and would come together as you expect. If you buy this stand, head to Dewalt.com and look up the DW7350. Go to the FAQ section and click the link, "How do I put this $%&!# thing together?" Here you'll find a PDF with pictures of the base when fully assembled. Then, google "Dewalt 7350 exploded" and one of the first links should be for Dewalt's service center, where you can find replacement parts for this unit. On that page, there's a link for a PDF and there you'll find an exploded view (actually a parts list) of how it's supposed to come together.Some tricks? All four bolts in the bag "Base" actually do go to the assemble the base. The manual will have you put two of them elsewhere and it won't work out. Also, the four medium size screws look the same, but are slightly different...even though the parts diagram has them as the same part number. Near as I could tell, the two with the lock washer are used to attach the pivoting wheel and the two with the plastic inserts are used for the non-pivoting wheels. (You'll definitely need the 13mm socket and box wrench for this one.) Also, I found the top a bit tricky to get on because the holes didn't line up well. I found it useful to place the unit on it's side, press down the top/legs and then actually screw the counter sunk bolts into the top table, allowing it to fit through the mounting holes a bit easier.It took me four hours to figure this dang thing out. For that, it loses a star. It probably should be three stars, but the table is really well built and I suppose there's a muted sense of accomplishment once you complete the build. It's a robust stand, holds my DW745 planer perfectly (and could other bench tools too) and it wheels around smoothly. I like that they added a shelf so below the planer isn't wasted space. Overall, it's worth the effort and price...but bring your patience when you put it together.
