[quote="JPG40504"]Speaking of which, I am wondering why they are not reversed(strip on left, belt on right).

The strip sander is driven from the right only, but the belt sander can be driven from either side.]
I have mine mounted on the right side also. If you are sharpening chisels with the SS strip sander sharpening attachment, the strip sander should be mounted on the quill end.

It appears more like the mistystarz's strip sander is being stored in that position. The point I made was the strip sander operating position, right power mount vs. left power mount, varies depending upon the task at hand.

I initially thought re 'reverse sharpening' but since the chisel holder was not apparent nor the shaft point towards the quill I abandoned that thought and raised the question more as a thought producer for the proud new owner of all this fantastic stuff.
I think you are correct that it was merely being 'stored' there when the pix was taken.! After all, she is just getting things set up!

I live not far from you in Malabar, without the AC, what about rust? Near the ocean over here, everything rust within a few months. I have a big shop but insulated it and ac to keep out humidity. Had it up for a number of years and not one thing has rusted yet.
