  1. Good evening everyone, It has been some time since I've been around these parts, and I'm hoping y'all will be able to provide supplemental knowledge, or let me know how far off I am. I have acquired a near new/very lightly used Runfa 40kg/88lb power hammer (Anyang Clone, also from China) from some friends of mine fairly recently, and will be trying to install it at a community forging space. I recall that the documentation that came with it was pretty scant, and what was translated was done poorly, so even if we find it again, I'm not expecting much help from it. We used the power hammer in another space, and it was great, although mounted to the available slab, which was probably thinner than it should have been, and consequently transferred vibrations a good 100 feet away, even through 2 pieces of brand new 3-ply conveyor belt. My primary question this time around is about mounting it properly. The new location is covered, but largely unpaved, has easy access to pour concrete, and access to forklifts for moving equipment. once a final placement is chosen and the slab is poured. I would prefer to mount it to a poured concrete monolithic block with 3 courses of rebar reinforcement and embedded mounting hardware, much like the old Little Giant plans. I'm thinking at least 3500 lb PSI concrete, with fiber, about 24-30" deep, and 6-8" wider than the base of the power hammer, with the previously mentioned conveyor belt as a shock absorbing spacer. Do y'all think that setup would be adequate? Some of the parties that manage the space have mentioned that it would be nice if there was some portability of the setup. They have mentioned mounting it to a heavy steel plate, much like a Little Giant (50?) that they have already mounted to a piece of 3/4” plate. Would this be safe and provide proper support? I'm not holding my breath, and would much rather protect the frame of something that would personally cost me 14k to replace. Depending on timing, and other setup stuff, this may or may not be used for a popular upcoming event.
  2. I'd ask him 50 bucks and see if he had a 10 lb case of high impact hard facing rod.
