I have couple of flip-top stands in the shop. One has a lunchbox planer, one has a small drill press. I've built them so the top flips 180º and the tool is in the cabinet, and I have a workspace on top. They're all on wheels and built to match the height of my MFT when "closed".
I want to build a larger version for my Kapex. Not only would it give me assembly space in my tiny shop, but when I go on site, I can flip the table and have the Kapex protected inside a plywood box in the van. My van is not racked (used for many different things...), everything has to stack when I go on site. Everything is Systainer-ized and stacks great, except the Kapex. Getting it into a cube of some sort will help a lot.
Question is: Does anyone see a problem with storing the Kapex upside down? Assuming I lock the slider knob and pin the head down with the lock, I think all the pressure would be off the springy parts and on the hardware parts. I've stored my planer upside down for years, and have had no issues.
Thoughts?
