Justin Carnecchia Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Grant thank you for your most helpful recomendation. John thank you as well, I will in all likely hood buy your 100-20, hopefully within the year. Thanks to everybody else who has posted, I live in the middle of nowhere and often forums like this are the only chance I have to interact with other smiths. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Larson Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Justin, the 75 and the 100 share the same pneumatics. That is why the 75 can behave like its bigger brother in terms of pneumatic down force and be so very responsive for lighter blow work. The 100 20:1 machine has a wider frame and cabinet, an 18" deep as opposed to 16" cabinet, and a larger diameter hammer head. This permits the use of the Sahinler dies. Your money will be well spent if you buy the 100. But if you buy the 75 and later want to upgrade to a bigger machine, you will find it very easy to sell the 75. Grant, good luck with your innovations. Thank you for the diplomatic words. Here's an idea that I cannot implement. If hammers could be filmed with really high speed cameras to provide really sloooow motion playback, it would be highly educational in revealing dynamics issues that we all talk about.
