You're right, But most of us have to do it "By hook or by crook", and that won't fly with this. At any rate the set screw would be a lotta work and I simply don't care to do it. as far as the overall function is concerned It matters little.......thanks mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson G. Phillips Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Turning a power hammer it to a multi tool is tempting, but you can overcomplicate things really fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacock Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Hey just forget the set screw thing just a thought. don't worry about filling the hole make the die big enough to bridge over it. It won't hurt a thing and you may want to use it later. Sorry for all the grief I caused you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really looking up. It looks like you've got the hard work done with the ram finished, or at least fitting. I was just about to give up on finding material for mine and then I just got lucky. Drink a beer and relax till after the new year and I bet something will turn up. I found more shafting and round bar drops than you could count yesterday, but the guy wouldn't sell one piece. That stuff was so hard to find I was going to get an extra piece for someone, but I couldn't make it happen. You're hammer is looking good!!!

macbruce Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 I spose there's a lesson to be learned here....I've got a perfectly good cordless grinder collecting dust in the shop and that puppy would have likely prevented this. Junkyard steel is allot cheaper, but I ASSumed it was the right stuff....... High Ho, back to school again.........mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
