Here are some picture of the hotcutter from both side.
Any more questions?

Roger

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

Thank you

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:(

Roger

yes i still use it and I will do a small drawing how i use it.

Roger

More tools




Roger

Here are som tools i use under the powerhammer.
Warious Tongs, swages,ringtools, and a were smart hotcutter for the powerhammer
i made for many years, to cut roundbars up to 80mm, in thre steps
It allmost funktion as a gilliotine, but you hawe to be wery gentle when you strike the tools.








Roger

Here in Sweden there are many different names for the same tools if you are talking to other blacksmith.

Roger

I hope you will drop by some time Ian, than we could have a little longer forgingsession in the shop.
You can allso have room for the night and breakfast in my house if you want.

Roger

Ok, thanks

I will put up other pictures of tools i use when i´m forging shaft,
A wery smart hot cutter for example, and other side set, etc

Roger

The bottom fuller is just to hold the shaft under the hammer so it wont fall down on the floor, and it keeps holding the shaft round a little better
than just using the tool and no fuller,
You can use the topp tool wothout a lower fuller but its a little bit complicated.

Yes there is no lower tool to make the waist on the shaft only topp tool.

Wath is the correct name of such topp tool in english:confused:

Roger

I hawe using Beche hammers for about 25years and i have five hammers in various size in my forge.
Here is a link to the video on my homepage.

Wath is eye ballin means???

When i forge a ring i look with my eye and then i measure it with the folding rule,(hope thats the right word) and this ring have a forging tolerance in +-3mm on the outside and inside diameter an +-2mm on the hight measure.
