Thanks for all the good input.
I think that the pure hydraulic hammer is a nonstarter for a small shop. Just for giggles and grins what would happen if you took a double acting cylinder and attached your pump to the ram side and a precharged accumulator to the other port. Sort of like a breaker on an excavator. The hydraulic pump lifts the ram/hammer and when the valve is opened to tank the pressure in the accumulator acts as a spring and slams the hammer down?
