Ok, Patrick
To answer your questions.
I have been a powerhammerblacksmith seens 1978
We are 3 people working in my forge.
We are a type of jobshop, small wolume of details, to whoever need parts.
I dont know any more shop like mine in the whole Scandinavia, who working with freeforging with powerhammer, so I think i
This is how i use the hot cutter.
Hope i can explain this in english.
Place the rounbar in the hotcutter and strike a light blow on the tool,
just half way through the roundbar, turn the roundbar 1/3 of a revolution??? (cant find the rigth word, hope you understand anyway)
than hit the tool once again little bit more than half through the roundbar again, turn it 1/3 again and strike the tool again just half trough the roundbar and the hotcutter made its work.
Hope you undestand this.
Its wery important that you dont hit the base on the hotcutter with a heavy blow, othervise the tool can be destroyed:(
