Pete, No I didn't get my bearings from Ebay, I don't recall where I found them but they came from a machine dealer that had just the one set left, I think they were $40. I'm not necessarily interested in getting every cent back as I'm sure with all the parts I have already spent more than a comparab...

Hi Pete, Well it's been a year and a half and my Hammond is still sitting in pieces in the corner of the shop. I did end up finding someone that had a spare set of table bearings with the retainer so I'm all set on the table. And I have new bearings for the arbor ready as well. Unfortunately no time...

Pete, thanks for the bearing info. Makes finding the parts much faster. I realize I can work around the batter gauge but for some reason I'm hoping to get one for the saw just to have all the 'original' parts. Not really sure why since I don't worry about that with any of my other machines. Speaking...

Pete, Thanks for the info. Some love is definitely required, maybe more than I anticipated but I haven't done a complete rebuild including refinishing before and this machine is a good size to start with I figured. Bummer on the batter gauge, I was hoping they'd be easy to find, seems like nice acce...

I just registered now that I have a glider to talk about and have really enjoyed reading the Hammond posts. I'll take some pictures of my saw soon. The G100 I just bought (maybe a mistake) is missing all the bearings for the sliding table, the batter gauge (which luckily screws on), the front drawer...
