Hi, i have an Anyang C41-25 power hammer. I use it for making stone cutting/carving chisels. I taper out the chisel ends on the power hammer but i still do the upset forging with hammer and anvil as i can't upset on the power hammer as there is not enough clear space. Does anyone know if i can modify the hammer to make more clear space?
Is it possible to utilise a garage workshop hydrolic press 50 tonnes for upset forging? The biggest chisel i forge is 2 inches out of 3/4 octagonal bar EN9 carbon steel.
Any other ideas for upset forging?
More information - i start off with a 9 inch length of octagonal steel and i upset the end to 1 1/4 inches then taper out to 2 inches. The chisel needs to be forged thick because it is tipped with tungsten carbide.
