poleframer Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Wondering where people like the anvil height on their power hammers, presses. Had a buddy over for a forge session, and noticed how much he stooped over. This is at 30", thinking e little higher. He wants one now, haha. He is on grid, and would be wanting an electric motor run hyd. unit, caused he really liked the control of mine. I don't have a clue of the specs on mine, its a cessna pump on a 12hp diesel outside. Would ya get similar speed, and power out of a two stage pump on 240v? Idk. I'd build it more like a forging press than a shop press, we talked about putting a shear in the action would be nice too. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poleframer Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Yea, that sounds better. Wouldnt mind adding another chunk of steel under the anvil either Thanks, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Both your height and your arm leg ratio makes a difference. (I have an uncle with extremely short legs and very long torso and arms---throws off all "standard" items.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
