Good morning.
I have a 4x24 PC belt sander that I would like to find a leveling plate to fit.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Oooops! I meant "Sanding FRAME"

The only sanding frames I've seen have been made by the sander's manufacturer to fit that sander. I'm guessing you've already queried PC, so you might have to make your own, or buy a sander that can be had with a frame.

Thanks for the reply, Jamie.
It isn't OEM, but I don't know who makes it.

When I was researching belt sanders several years ago, I realized PC did not make sanding frames. I ended up getting a Bosch with a sanding frame for that reason and it works great. Makita makes a sanding frame too.

Bosch is quite proud of their sanding frames. Be sure you are sitting down when you look at the price of that piece of metal.

Porter Cable used to make sanding frames when they were not Dewalts puppy, and there was one for the 4x24, so it may take a while but there is such an animal.

I'll look around for you a bit......
