There are two holes in the table on my belt sander. Does anyone know if they are there for any specific purpose? In all these many years, I have never had a need to use them -- well, maybe never; I could be missing something.[ATTACH]6933[/ATTACH]
Yes, that is a blood spot.

My Guess would be that they provide a means(bolt holes) to secure them during the milling/grinding of the surface.

The worktable is 6" by 9". It can be tilted from “0” to 20° into the belt, or from “0” to 45° away from the belt. The Shopsmith Miter Gauge fits in the slot on the worktable and can be locked in place. Also, the worktable has two holes cast into the table slot, making it easy to attach extensions and special fixtures.

Bob (beeg) is right on!!!!! As Usual! Today, I took a look at the instructions that came with the sander. In the 'Operations' portion (page 22,23,and more) The show the plans for a table extension. The even show how to make a jig for sharpening of bench chisels. The holes are 5" apart center to center, if that matters.
Didn't Nick do a Sawdust session or Video Tip about such a table extension?
