Why is the label on my circa 1975 Rockwell 6x48 belt sander mounted upside-down? Am I missing something? Its attached with small rivets.
Rockwell label wrong mounted wrong way?

That's the Australian model, the label's not upside down, you are.

that's a sign of a counterfeit tool.
It's a floor sander.

You're not holding the belt sander upside down are you? The side with the sander should be pointing down. :)
Wow, so do I have a defect? How come you all are making fun of me??!!? :)
I posted a pic in A.B.P.W. - have a look!
Put a pic of my downdraft table too! Can anyone identify the wood? I'm not sure.
Nobody ever meant to make it personal. :-)
No malice intended, just some harmless ribbing.
So, the picture is over in the binaries group (sander and downdraft pics = subject) Anyone know why its up-side-down??
nope
The truth? During the mid/late 70's Rockwell International was having some real quality control problems.
