I just wanted to share this item that just came up on ebay.  It's a top of the line Hammond Glider saw designed for cutting letter press type.  It's a precision saw with a sliding table and a quickclamp and precision fence. The blade is screwed to it's mandrel so you can cut across the face of the blade.   It's the best ever for saw tapering hammers and sorts of things needed in the business of piano work.  I saw my first one at Ronsen Piano hammer in 1981.   Bought one for $40. at a auction bidding against scrap metal dealers.   They getting harder and harder to find now.   This one is in San Diego.

This post and the lead cutter reminds me of my junior high school classes. I enjoyed print shop, but today you would probably not be allowed to touch the lead type that we set. In science class it was fun to play with the mercury on your hands – not allowed today. And then there were the X-Ray machines in shoe stores when you went to buy a pair of shoes – interesting to see your toes wiggle in the viewer. Regards, Norman.
