Hi Les
Welcome aboard.
Not sure but I think you are right. 10" I recall seeing one of these 3 years ago in Ray Negrons shop at Ronsen Hammer. He uses it for accurately cutting the tails to length. HE said if I ever find one of these buy it. So now I'm trying to. They probably weigh 350 lbs so I don't wan to pay to freight it very many miles.

My first post to the list, been lurking for a couple of weeks now. Not sure on how to post to the list... hope this works.
Dale, what size blade does it use? Looks like a 10".

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
