Default Using Woodstaulk in place of plywood?

I have to build a stand for a 12" planer. I have a nice design from Shopnotes which calls for the sides to be made out of 3/4" plywood. Will the Woodstaulk material work well in this application? I know I have seen it used for box sides and such, just concerned about the vibration from the motor having an ill effect on it.

Woodstaulk to me looks like MDF. Very very fine dust it seems.

The closest I've gotten to woodstalk is the piece holding the brass bars I got from Oakpark.

re: The Sears Router did not come with the quick change guides like the Bosch. No matter - Brass fixed to the base with lock rings is my preference.
FWIW

All the best

CFM, The quick change adapter has a plate that uses any PC style bushings, just loads and unloads quicker. It also accepts the Bosch bushing plates.

I still have to actual see the product..... I have been looking around and was told Home Depot sold it, I went and ask and got this blank look "like what is he asking for?". I posted here in hopes some in the northern IL area had some idea but so far I am clueless as to where to see or purchase it. So as far as your question I don't know but I would like to.

If weight is something you are thinking about the plywood is most likely lighter and with plywood the fasteners can be a no brainer. Just a couple thoughts for you.

I guess that can be a winter project, contacting them and see if they have a supplier in this area.

That reminds me I need to make some plans for a stand for my planner...... That would make it so much easier to use....

Ed, they have it here in the Detroit area at HD. It runs $15 for a 3/4x4x8. Dont trust the stock clerks to know, read the side paint markings of what looks like particle board. They were clueless here too.
Shopnotes has a neat plan for the planer stand.

I've done this three times, each time I looked myself, then try and find someone who "knew" the area and each time "we" have not found it, this was at two different HD's. Maybe the 4th time is the charm.......

I was hoping by this time somebody would have responded who has used this product. I guess it comes down to try it and see. I will report my findings.

Sorry, I didn't see your post until now. 20% lighter than the MDF, machines great when cutting it smells like straw and doesn't swell if water touches it. Woodstalk is a great product and you shouldn't miss the chance to use it.
