Once I get past figuring out the electric, re-locating the "beast" to the back of the property then my concern is the neighbors!!! Off looking for railroad ties for a base!!

Right about 3k and two not very smart guys(me and a buddy) with chains comealongs and 3/4" pipe to slide it out of the trailer i brought it in. Loading onto the trailer the guy i bought it from used a bobcat.

Thanks Doc But aren't VFD used only when variable speed control is needed?? Thanks Sergio

Thank you for all the feedback. If it's ok I'll continue to ask questions. I got the hammer and the motor some mismatched dies but no switch boxes or controllers of any kind, trying to stay away from hiring professional electrician but looks like it's the sensible thing to do before I blow this thing up!! As far as aftermarket dies go am I better off doing sketchs of what I want off of existing ones and going to a machine shop or does anyone know of a source of dies for the "Beast"??? Sergio

Thank you all. Does it have to be a rotary converter or can I get away with a static converter??? The price differential is big. I have easy access to single phase 220. Also concerning the oil- can I use 50 weight motor oil, if I can get that, or does it need to be machine oil??

I've just obtained the above mentioned hammer, and as a newbie smith may have bitten more than I can chew. It came with a 4kw three phase motor, no instructions and that pretty much sums it up. Anyone as any advice? Thanks in advance Sergio
