hello guys ! How are you ? I buy a c41-15 power hammer, but it will arrive on may .... it's work for 1 3/16 square 1 3/8 round all specification New Page 1 for me is the best way, low cost low it occupies little space. the quality of product is better than the past years, many importers buy anyang hammer, uk, de, usa, india, romania etc etc I will try and then I will make to know you, with photo and the other tolls dgt have a good day ! |

We used a 33 anyang a couple weeks ago for a tong-making workshop. A couple things I found of interest: The oiler is junk. It went from not oiling, to dumping a solid stream and draining itself, at its own schedule. The adjustment screw is goofy. I worry about this kind of thing probably more than most, I had to shut the hammer down often to add more oil. The bottom die kept working loose, we kept it in check by wrapping the wedge key with a slice of beer can. This could be fixed by making a new key. The dies were all a bit different dimension, necessitating the need to keep individual keys for each different die. This made it inconvienient to switch from flat dies to drawing dies. It didn't start hitting hard until 20-30 minutes after startup. I was told that if it gets used often, it gets better, but don't know for sure. It had moments where it worked quite well. It's affordable, but I worry about technical support issues a year or three down the road. |

Hey guys, I sell the little fellas in the UK (thats a link to my site!) The oilers are fine, its the non return valve thats junk. If you take the ball and spring from the cylinder connection, and fit a decent one just above the oiler they work perfectly. They do take 5 or ten mins to start making full power, if they take any longer than this the ram piston rings are tight in the ram bore. It is a 5 min job to ease them (crown them off) slightly. The dies should not work loose, Ive never had this problem with them - I keep talking to my customers after they buy from me and its never been reported back. The hammers use an industry standard 1:100 7 degree key arrangement. I run them all before shipping to my customers in the UK & Ireland and 'iron out' any potential niggles (like the lube system). All in all I think they are a decent little machine (90% of what I do is industrial forging machinery, so know a bit about hammers feel free to ask me any questions about them - Ill have a shot at answering them ! edit. the page is from my site MasseyAnyang my main website for hammers is index one more edit ...... Last week I lent a 33lb anyang to a 'forge in' event in the uk, heres a photo of it in use. FERRUM - Daniel Gentile- powered by SmugMug The people who used the 33 lb hammer ( aka 'the woodpecker') are posting their thoughts and reviews in this thread on the forum 'britishblades.com' thoughts on the wood pecker ? - British Blades :: Custom Knife Making Last edited by John N; 04-02-2008 at 05:52 PM. |

John, thank you for ringing in on this! I know several folks that are on pins and needles with user support since Mr. Graham passed away earlier this year in California. Would you please post a photo of the oiler fix (Take this out of there and put a new one here) and maybe a photo of crowning the rings for quicker take off? The Anyang we were using is at a museum/volunteer school, I'm on a quest to get more people in my region to feel more comfortable using hammers. The 33# is a great size to not intimidate folks but still get some work done. If we can tune this one up in a morning, I'm sure it will have a positive impact. Also, does anyone know if someone is taking up the USA franchise for anyang? I love my old mechanical hammer, but have known that if it crashes hard, I could drive to Grahams and have a new hammer running in a few days if in the middle of a big job. |

Hello guys ! probably I became the Italian importer, but I must still take one definitive decision. first I try my hammer, and after I can built a site with many photo specification ed modified to improve this item. 4 weeks and arrived to my house, at very very low price. I don't now but I will inquire on the shipping costs to ship in usa. I can take at lower price, we are in negotiation. Stay tyned ! Have a nice days ! |
