Hello! I apologize in advance if I have posted this in the wrong section, or even the wrong community. I tried to find the answer though perhaps I'm using the wrong terms or asking the wrong question(s).
I'm looking to build a worktable that as a surface that can be flipped over with one piece of machinery/tool secured to both sides. Basically the surface can be flipped and each side has one machine/tool secured to it, meaning that when one side/machine/tool is upright, the other is upside down.
I have seen several designs and youtube videos of a flippable table (or a table with parts that can flip) so I know it can be done. My concern is if inverting the machine/tool could cause damage. Mainly I'm thinking of a belt grinder, drill press, and band saw as being three of the four machines/tools in question (two separate tables). The idea of oil or lubricant leaking pops into my head but then I also consider what if it is shipped upside down or if a box tips over and is left, is the machine ruined?
tl:dr - can inverting a belt grinder, drill press, and/or band saw when not in use cause damage to the machine(s)?
Thank you again!
