I am building a flip-top tool stand with my DeWalt 733 on one side and a Jet 16-32 on the other. I'm not really concerned about the effects of hanging upside down on the Dewalt, I figure I will just engage the lock to keep the head from moving.

I am a bit concerned with the Jet sander, I was wondering if anyone on the board has any experience with mounting one of these on a flip stand and what effects, if any, it has on it. My concern is with the long lever arm of the sanding drum and its attachments to the cast-iron frame.

I really hope that there is nothing truly bad about hanging one of these upside down because I can really use the space in the shop.
