bbehnke Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I just wanted to pass this along as this seemed to improve performance- I installed an air cleaner on my 50kg Say Mak power hammer that is designed for air compressors. I purchased it from McMaster Carr and cost a little over $30.00. The air cleaner has a silencer and the description in their catalog stated that the air flow would be improved. I must say that the hammer does seem a little more responsive and the exhaust note is very healthy (more than before the change).

Sam Salvati Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 It is also good practice I imagine, what with all the dust and abrasive type things floating around in the air in a blacksmith shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
781 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 You installed this on the intake correct My hammer just has a roundish can with no filter on the intake and exhaust. I piped the exhaust outside. It should probably have a filter intake but Tom Clark did not say anything about it I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbehnke Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yes, I put this on the air intake. I have both the intake and exhaust outside. I had a muffler (that came with it) for the air intake before. There are specific mufflers for air compressors that I may try. They run around $8 - $10.
