mat Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 i have been gathering scrap to build a rusty/dusty hammer,my concern has been the hammers stability and wasted energy with movement.so what are opinions of this hammer,down side bigger footprint/more materials,but is it a better design?

pkrankow Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The frame and anvil look solid and steady. I just see the cantilever spring arm whipping, which stores extra energy. Phil ps, I think I misread the question, but I am not changing my answer. Other people know more about power hammer design than I do.

arftist Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It is not an improvement over the rusty/dusty style if that is what you are asking. My 75# rusty style has a much smaller foot print, and more throat area between the upright collumbs and the anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Looks like fun to work/play with. But I think I'll stick with my tire hammer. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am amazed every time that I use my tire hammer how efficiently it moves metal for such as small hammer. Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
