hello Peter ! you don't have a friend with a camera:D my Hercule hammer strike 160 per minuteswith a 10hp , I have change springs with two industiel rubbers..... arms has been welded, but too long, I'll make other later.... sometimes, at slow speed the hammer don't strike normally, now I think if the speed is more hight it could be better..... with this slow speed, I must adjust the excentric highter. bye.. -

Price for power hammer please
FabienC. replied to Scot's topic in Power Hammers, Treadle Hammers, Olivers
Hello ! this type of power-hammer is selling between 500 and 1200/1300 euros in France! Ebay is the better place for selling it! I don't know if you speak french but you can send me a private message if you have other questions... -

Hello Mr Hofi ! I 've find in old thread you use WD40 for finish handle, do you think it could be this oil who change the "grip" (a friend of me soak his knives handles in linen oil and it give them more "hand adhesion"...)? I hope I could return to your students school soon....
-
hello guys! Can I ask a other question about this hammer on this thread? I have bought an Hofi cast hammer 2 years ago, but the handle doesn't want to stay in my hand..... I have stick a rubber tennis racket for avoid this, it very well..... but I have try same hammer in a school forge in France (Eynate and Shraga School) and their hammers don't slice in my hand.... aspect was different, seem like warnish or oiled... could you say more about this ? I don't think it's student sweet who have polish them... Thanks!
