DeWalt Planer / Thicknesser without a guard

Pleased it worked it's always hard adding a part from another machine, If you want to send me some dim's of the bracket and holes you need to replace the wood I can make one up out of metal for you.

Thanks for the offer!
Honestly, I can't fault the wood, I'm going to make it look a bit better, but it's solid.
I think I could move the whole machine by this bracket now, the only reason I didn't try is that I don't want to misalign the tables.

Maaaybe one day if I get my hands on a MIG, I will try to make this out of metal, but I'm perfectly happy with it for now!

A little sneak peek of what's coming
I'll finish it in the new year, but I've made some knobs and a longer guard out of aluminium, it now covers the entire cutter block.

Pity It was a bit short for you that will look much better great to see your on with it.

I've seen people make shorter guards so that they don't stick out as much when jointing. So another way of looking at this is that I've already got one!
