Ok...Give up? The Hammond TRIM-O-SAW. It was used to cut lead type face for lin-0-type machines. They are on line for sale everywhere in various conditions from $80.00 on up. My kind a tool and price. So as I said...there must be thousands going to waste out there. This one cam from a print museum for ........ready.........$200.00. It can come with many handy dandy attachments too. The table moves like as smooth as a top. Oh, I've been informed...its not memorial day. dang Dale S.

I'm touched.... you assumed that belly was mine. So thoughtful Ron. LOL The Saw is not mine but I'm on the hunt. I bet there are thousands out there waiting to be bought cheap. Yes, It is a table saw but the really cool thing is the table slides. And it has that massive micro adjusting indexer and work stop. I can think of so many things this set up would be useful for. The table slides on ball bearings Pattern maker is close. Think Guttenberg. Dale S.

Well, it's a sliding table saw, like a pattern maker's saw, but the interesting part is over there where we can't get a look at it. There appears to be a screw lead and a scale on the slide. So where'd you get it? Ron N -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
