Hi folks,

Looking at this belt sander. The owner says it is a model 4480. I don't see the posts to connect to the Mark V. Any ideas out there?

They may be there as it is hard to tell if they are there with the angle the picture was taken from.

Looks like that might be the bottom of one post immediately below the dust port. As SDSSmith said, it's hard to tell.

I am wondering if what I am looking at is the auxilary base for mounting for a power station connection.

I think you are saying I am good to go. I am having a hard time visulizing the set up.

I think yer pix may have short jointer tubes.

The 'correct' tubes are available.

I went to visit last night and found all in order and came home with a new (used) belt sander. I also got to meet another Shopsmith owner. He had three (one up on me). Great guy. We all need to talk more!:)

I am feeling pretty good today. The fleet includes two Mark V's, a jointer, belt sander, and band saw. Life is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.
