SOLD FS - Hammond G40B Glider Trim-o-saw $500 - gamma - 09-18-2023
Clean, complete Hammond Glider G40B sliding table Trim-O-Saw. $500.
These are fantastic, beefy little machines. Sliding table with 24" crosscut capacity. The can be modified to take standard woodworking blades. I know of no other saw like them. Small footprint, amazing crosscut capacity, super stable and quiet.
I love these saws so much, I got an older one. It's slightly heavier yet!

Bob Vaughan wrote a very nice article on these saws in Fine Woodworking a few years ago. Here's his log of modifications to his personal saw

The miter finger moves freely. And the bronze half nut is in good shape.
Arbor runs true and smoothly.
1hp 1730rpm 3 Phase motor currently wired for 220v. Runs very nicely. If you don't have 3phase power, I can fit with a VFD or single phase motor - talk to me for price.
The table has a nice patina and is just that. No rust pitting. If you prefer the shiny look, it should be a quick cleanup with WD-40 and a razor. Again, I'm willing to do the cleanup if you pay me.
The only issues I know of are
- blade guard is broken. It's a clean break, and should be very repairable.
- belt guard is missing - I can supply measurements if you want to make one
- grinding wheel nut is missing - again, happy to provide measurements
Pickup in Chicago preferred. Forklift available to load. With a little time, I can get this to Rockford, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Ann Arbor for some gas money. I will likely be driving to Maine this fall, and could be bribed to bring it along Rochester/Boston/Bangor (2 kids in van for days - they need the bribes, not me.)
PayPal, cash, or zelle. I can probably find a way to do venmo or one of the other myriad payments if I must.
Feel free to make an offer, I won't be offended.
Thanks for looking
