There are accessories available which can convert certain portable belt sanders for occasional stationary use. If such accessories are used always clamp or secure sander when inverted and bench mounted for use as a table sander. Be aware of switch

WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: � Lead from lead-based paints, � Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and � Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
