Hitachi Sander Update

I have been pleased with this purchase. There has however been a development. When I bought it, I briefly looked for a model that had attachments that allowed for the tool to be turned upside down and used like a bench sander.  Aside from some unidentified pictures on the internet I didn't find any models with this feature. Nor did I find mention of this as an available feature for any tool, regardless of price. So I gave up and bought the hitachi which has been a very competent tool. Since turning the hull over I have needed to sand bits and corners off relatively small pieces of wood. Just the sort of thing for which a bench sander would be perfect. So taking my cue from some random internet tool pictures. I made my own stand. Here are the pictures.

It is very sturdy in this little mount and the trigger and lock switches aren't too hard to get to.
