What to put opposite a planer flip cart?

[Jeff C Johnson]

I'm a member of a makerspace (picture shared workshop where we have a woodshop, metalworking, laser cutters, 3d printers, cat surgery stations, etc.) One of our members build a nice flip cart that we can have the dewalt planer on one side and something else on the other. We don't have anything for the B side yet though.

I'm curious to ask the collective brain trust here what might be good to put on the flipside, be it a tool we may or may not have.

I was initially thinking about one of our oscillating sanders, but those get too much use, and we have a dedicated area for those (with air filters, etc).

We have a lot of extra routers, so I was considering maybe a dedicated spot to do quarter roundover bit by making a small fixed table with a melanine surface.

The surface area we have to work with is about 20"x20". I'd like to put a small jointer for small work, but no jointer worth anything would fit in that small of a space.

Any suggestions?

Bench grinder?

Leave it be. If a need arises you'll see it.

Maybe a jointer?

A mortising machine?

[Matt Day]

I used to have one with a mortising machine, then a Ridgid sander.

I put a 12" disc sander and an oscillating spindle sander opposite my DW 735.

In your own shop, a keg with a nice tap, in a maker space a keg with no tap just to taunt the others.

Scroll saw? Drum sander.

[Jay Aubuchon]

From personal experience, I highly recommend mounting an old scroll saw under there, one from which all of the oil will drain when it's upside down.

Here was mine, I gave it away when I sold the DW735

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Two items suggested which would make great sense since they are used infrequently are our mortising machine and scrollsaw. :)

[Rich Engelhardt]

I out my benchtop drill press on the flip side of my DeWalt 734.

Oscillating Spindle Sander

I agree with Jim, an oscillating spindle sander is an ideal companion.

[Dave Cav]

I want to know about the cat surgery station...

A second planer for when the knives get dull and you're in a hurry?
