Hammond Guide

Pete,

I'm looking forward to your write-ups!

Bob Vaughan on OWWM posted a link to a PDF file a while back that described refurbishing and tuning up a Hammond glider. If you haven't seen it yet, I can probably find the link or just email you the file directly.

I used a Hammond a few days back to cut some 2" acrylic tube to rough length - the arbor casting interfered with a clean cut and it didn't occur to me to try trimming as you suggested in your first "Guide" post.

Hi Mike thanks for the tip, I found the file, but the pictures didn't download for me, so I have a photo essay with no photos

Anyways, An e-mail copy would be great.

Dude- Thanks for the photos. I have never owned a mercury- car or saw.

Pete

Hello,
My name is Allen and I work for Maryland OSHA Consultation Service; a State agency. I work for Consultation as a safety consultant.

Consultation is a program were employers invite me in to take a look at their safety and health program and also the equipment they are using. I do not write Citations. So this is a good thing and not bad.

With all of that said, I have some questions concerning the blade guard on these Hammond Glider saws. I have seen several of these saws on my visits. None in use always in storage until my last visit. They were using the saw to cut laminate board to size. There was no blade guarding on the machine. I have googled this machine and saw a picture of a saw with what looked like a cast iron blade guard.

Could any one please provide me with information about the guarding on these machines? Was it original or an aftermarket item? Is it still available?

You can contact me directly at 410-537-4506 or respond to this post.
Thanks
