westerwald Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I need the weight of the hammers according to the numerical designation of the hammer. Example.. No.4 is 75 lbs? no.5 is 100 lbs ? Thanks (These were a guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Thomas Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 There is actually quite a range and no absolutes. It is better if you have a particular number in mind I can give you the probable weight. In general, a #3 is 75 pounds, a #5 is 125 pounds, a #7 is 200 pounds, and a #10 is usually a 300 pound. But a #10 can also be a 100 pound hammer by a different era numbering system which makes more sense. In that sequence, the #15 is 150 pounds, a #20 is 200, a #30 is 300, #40 is 400, #45 is 450, and #50 is 500. However, even these are not absolute as my own #40 is really only a 300 pound hammer, based on the combined ram and die weight as they were rated, and all the other parts are consistent with a 300 pound hammer. What made you ask??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
