November 16, 200916 yr HI Guys, thought you might like to see a pic of my tire Hammer in action,i am very impressed with the performance. DANIEL TASMANIA.
November 16, 200916 yr Hey! That looks pretty HOT! I know a lot of folk like the pneumatic hammers but with a mechanical hammer it sure makes it easier to run a shop without having to need that cash outlay for a big compressor.
November 16, 200916 yr Looks great..I have one question. I notice the top die is held on with a piece that slips over the hammer and a bolt through it. Do you have any problem with it striking the hammer guide tube on the upswing when running at full speed? I know my hammer goes up inside the guide a little at full speed. Just curious. Nice job though it looks great.
December 24, 200916 yr Author HI NEAL. i had some reservations about the clearance you mention. To make sure the die holder cleared the slides i ran it without the die attached to make sure i had clearance when the die was attached. A bit of trial error but the whole machine was trial and error. I just about gave up trying to stop it walking about the floor,even with the base plate .400lb and the anvil 500 lb however i did get it running real sweet in the end. the thing hammers real good.
January 1, 201016 yr Hey Daniel. Did you put your counter weight on the back side of the tire rim, or the front. Post a picture of how you did it, if you can. Thanks. I think that I'm gonna end up with a similar problem. :D
