I just came across this thread, I recently bought a Pels Nibbler and was going to post this; Henry Pels Ltd but saw they have posted now but this seems an easier link.

Why would the 50 ton one be slower?

Thanks, I can see how I could make that work, but as I remember it, the hammer was attached to two 'hinged' brackets and a treadle so you could bring the hammer down on the piece, so you could have two hands and work hot. I was thinking it might be possible to use a treadle and bring the anvil up, but am not sure which is the best way. Lawrence

Unfortunately I am in the UK and also the frames on air planishers are different I believe? Lawrence

Hi, Does anyone know where there are picture of these set up, I have seen them but can not find them in searches, I know they are out there. I have used the small ones free hand and was very impressed with the results, so I would like some guidance on the frame to use, I also remember from one of the articles I read that on the larger ones there are those where the speed etc can be regulated, even giving a single powerful hit on demand. I would much appreciate it if anybody who could direct me to these threads as I am a great believer in learning from other peoples experiences as opposed to making expensive mistakes. Lawrence
