Judson Yaggy Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 That's a good start, but a few suggestions. The hammer doesn't look like it's dripping oil and the squeak at the end of your video sounds like metal on metal. Mechanical hammers should have every moving part oiled every time they are used. That means all pins, slides, bearings, etc. If your hammer isn't oozing oil from every joint then chances are you are doing it damage. Also, a hammer that size should be running at 250 to 400 blows per min. The vid looks slow to me. Practice stomping the treadle with some junk steel between the dies (hot steel of course) to really get a feel for squishing stock. If you already have it floored and are only getting low speed performance look into changing your pulley ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Aarhus Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Thanks judson ! I gave it plenty of Oil before i tried it :) It is slow in This video but it was the first time i tried it so i dont know how to control it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hmm this looks like a nice hammer indeed. I can not really identify it but it says Jøbing and the letter ø only exists in Norwegian and Danish, not in Swedish so it rather will be a Norwegian or Danish fabricate.
