Woodrow #2

Greetings from northern Wisconsin. Have you looked at KZ 100 or 150 ? There are some good films on U tube of this air hammer . I bought one a few years ago. Fantastic improvement over the LG 50 I was using. With my skill level I need all the help I can get from my tools . My job got easier. I was ready to buy a Blue hammer when I found out the KZ is built over in Minnesota Ken (the guy who builds em ) had me over to run it like 3 times to be sure I wanted it , An all around good guy. There is a guy in Bemidji Mn who has used one for years building hammers for a living. All good reveiws. I will be running mine for a hour or so today cold smashing drawer handles . Woodrow

Travis I own a 100# KZ . Its great , I wish i had more time to build and use more tooling for it . Have you called Ken ? He and his wife Mary Lu are super people . If you have any way to go to Mn to run one i would recommend it . I was there a few times to run his hammer . I would think the controls for the 75 would be the same as the 100lb, its a bit of a learning curve but once you got it , you got it. There is a guy in Northern Mn called (I forgot ) but he runs hammers for a living. He runs the 100# to hell and back. He has good things to sat for the 100#. His shop is called Jack pine forge and is easy to find on line . I would call or write him and get his views on The KZ as well as other hammers in this class. Here is a link to his face book page https://www.facebook.com/JackpineForge/ Woodrow Northern Wisconsin

Big time sneaky lurker here. Regarding Hardox 450 /500 and AR 450 Twice a year I have a job welding in a wear plate in to a "grate". I use 1/16 TM 771 wire shielded with co2. Lincoln sells the same thing only better called Ultra core 712C. If its cold out, and it almost is all the time,, I pre heat as hot as i can get this big lump with a 2'' propane torch and weld . The welds (every 4inches) keeps the whole thing sort of warm. Also after its welded I lay down a pass of hard face wire over the weld to protect it . I have never had one cut loose '' on the job''. BUT, as I weld temporary hoisting loops on the wear plate I have had them break off without warning. I believe its because the weld was small and cold.
