Re: Feedback on the sliding saw selection


 

开云体育

Stan,

I have a Hammer B3 Perform, which is basically the largest of the Hammer saws, with a slider length of 2500mm and an integrated shaper.

It’s an excellent machine for a hobbyist like me, and buying second hand I got a lot of saw for the money.

If I had Felder money, I’d buy a Felder machine. Why?

My main gripe with the Hammer series is where the on/off switches are, which is on the body of the saw at the front - and in this position it’s almost always obscured by whatever I’m cross cutting. This is especially true when cutting an 8x4 sheet. The Felder saws I’ve seen have switches on the end of the slider itself, which if you ask me is the most sensible position for them.

Other than that gripe, a Hammer machine is very well built (for a hobbyist) and will last a lifetime.

Good luck choosing!

Cheers,

Morgan
