    Default Hanging the Triton Spindle Sander upside down?

    Hi folks.

    Pity about today's play at the Gabba but hopefully the sun comes out tomorrow.

    Anyway, I recently bought a Triton Oscillating Spindle Sander and I'm keen to mount it on a flip-top shop cart with a scroll saw on the other side. I'm just a bit worried about the plastic mounting holes on the sander. Would this be a problem if the sander was left hanging upside down for any length of time?

    Cheers!

    Not really knowing what the mounts are like, if they are plastic i could see an issue with the vibration of the scroll saw slowly weakening them. Maybe rather than a flip have 2 interchangeable tops with tool on each and a shelf to take the top not in use.

    The plastic looks pretty strong and I was only thinking of flipping the Triton over when I needed to use the scroll saw. At any other given time the Triton would be in the upright position.

    Thanks for the feedback.
