ptree Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I believe in German a Fedderhammer. It is a Powell patent style guided helve, leaf spring hammer. Its a factory made RUSTY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkunkler Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It was on ebay last month, bidding didn't meet the reserve.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Electrical-Mechanical-Forging-Hammer-drop-hammer-/290639388559?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43ab751f8f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P. Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Google "meitinger" and/or "federhammer". Not sure of the make of this one, but meitinger seems to be the most common. If you search on google.de you will do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks for the vid Dan. Could be operator error or that it's jumping around, but it doesn't look like it hits very hard. If that's a 40# hammer I'd like to see it hitting about 25% faster too. But I've never actually run one, and any power hammer is better than no power hammer.

macbruce Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Loos like a well made hammer......If it wouldn't go any faster than the one in the video I'd have to pass. The upper die is very narrow and if that's the widest it take up there that would be strike two...Doesn't look as though single strikes are possible either. I think a Little Giant would run rings around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptree Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have a hammer that is somewhat similar, a Rusty type or more correctly Powel patent and at 70# it is nice to run. Hits perhaps just a nit faster but not much, and in truth I like it that way as I have very nice control. Mine is a tire clutch and I can one hit.

Ten Hammers Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm gonna agree with Ptree. Speed is highly underrated. By changing one of two pullys I can make either of my mechanical hammers faster or slower. One has an idler to take up the belt slack and the other, the motor slots. Judson makes the final statement ( and I myself have not run one of these hammers in the vid). To each his own. Seems like a fair bit of money though.

Will. K. Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I don't think i've seen a pin die holding arrangement like that before. Wonder how it compares to dovetails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
