How's this for a freebie?

I was familiar with Hammond grinders since I have a universal vise from their cutter grinder:

I learned something new today. They manufactured saws for sawing lead type for the printing industry. :

Here's a link to a Hammond 400 BDD belt sander:

Is that your machine in the first link? Either way, someone did a great job on the restoration.

I recently added a publication on VintageMachinery that I got from Hammond:

A Hammond rep told me that my tool was manufactured in 1981.

I will be making an entry very soon in the photo index as well.

No. That's not my machine. I do have the vice off of one of those tool grinders though. It's useful on my surface grinder as well as on my tool & cutter grinders.
