Rick Rowlands Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I may be picking up a Chambersburg Model L hammer, probably 750 lb. to 1000 lb. size. I'm looking for plans or specs. for the foundation.I understand it is built up with timbers but how deep, sizes, whats under the timbers etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Thomas Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Rick: I am an admirer of yours on the Practical Machinist. I think you met my brother, Steve Thomas? So I know what serious-sized stuff you deal with. I just emailed a very good working industrial smith in IL to come check out your question. He checks his mail late at home and hopefully will be along here tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter HIrst Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Rick: look over at Anvilfire.com. In the Guru's Den forum, someone is offering a model L with installation istructions currently owned by a high school. Possibly you could get a copy of those instructions.

Chuck Richards Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have the 11th edition of the machinery's handbook. It has plans and specs for hammer foundations. That one will be pretty substantial. If you are still looking I can dig it out and give you the secs. OH WOW. This is an old thread.....

DC712001 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Maybe this might help a bit too:POWER hammer PAGE, p. 2 - Bement Air Hammer Photo is referenced to Anvilfire. Jock has stated that no photos from Anvilfire are permitted to be used on any other web site on the internet, so they have been removed.
