Hi all!
I'm new here, I was pointed here from another forum. I'm a young knifemaker from Finland that would need some help getting my airhammer running as it should.
For about a year ago I bought a new power hammer, a beché 65 kg, and yesterday I was able to run it for the first time.
There was a big problem with hammer, the ram did not go up and idle at the top of the hammer cylinder as it should.
It goes up and and down with a full stroke length hitting the bottom die every time. It does not hit the bottom very hard but it hits it.
I did not find any obvious causes to the problem but will take a closer look at it today.
I had a similar problem with my other hammer that I was able to fix, the reason was problem with the valve. The beché does not look any thing like that hammer so I have no idea where to start to look.
Maybe any of you guys know where I should start to look? It not a very uncommon hammer and should be fairly similar to a Nazel.
Here are some pictures of the hammer from when I bough it.
Best regards
Jakob
