Saw this Powermatic 12" on facebook. Looks to be a wood base on casters with trailer jacks? as parking brakes.

Should be good on an uneven floor

It's a good idea. Probably more expensive than just buying a commercially available mobile base. But I suppose if you already had the parts on hand, it would be a good use of them. Definitely heavy duty enough.

I think those are jacks from a trailer tongue with a foot plate instead of a wheel on the bottom. Looks like some kind of ratcheting crank handles.

I like the casters better than choking down the chip shroud like that. Run some 11" wide poplar through there and the shroud will be full.

This photo shows what is probably the factory dust chute. for the 12" planer. Looks like a 6" pipe output.

I meant the 90 degree elbow and the 2" shop vac hose adapter. My model 100 was old enough that it had no factory chip collector, just a deflector. So almost all the early models had to have some kind of DIY effort on them.Originally Posted by Bill Dufour

I missed the 2" throttle. I thought it was 4 inch all the way out. That will never work.
