Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver

Speed IS relative, you know. Hammers run at 30 feet pers second AND UP. 3 FPS is quite easy to work with. The flywheel at the top of the screw has a leather belt around the outside edge. The two vertical wheels run on a common shaft driven by the motor. Drive is imparted by moving the shaft and it's two wheels from right to left so that one wheel contacts the leather. Quite sensitive and controlable, I can hit a very light blow or one xxxx of a stomp.

More properly called a "Friction screw press". 'Bout a 6" stroke, has real impact not just squeeze. Doing about 3 feet per second at impact. The screw is 5 inch diameter about six inch travel per revolution.

Hi guys! I'm Grant Sarver and I've been selling a small unit for about five years now. It's 15 KW (that's about 50 amps on a 220 single phase circut) and about the size of a tower computer. It will heat about 15 inches of 1/2 inch bar in about 15 seconds! You can get a nice welding heat in 20 seconds. Coils are easily made from common 1/4 inch copper tubing. A short coil of about 2" diameter will heat a wide variety of parts. Longer heats can be had by moving the part back and forth thru the coil. Six inches from the anvil if you like! I've seen Darryl Nelson do an upset square corner on 5/8 bar in two heats with his. In my shop I went from about $250 - 300 per month in propane to where I saw about $25.00 - 30.00 per month increase in my electricity! I manufacture the OCP or Off Center brand of tongs and swages etc. Oh yeah, $2,995.00
