harrismetalsmith Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I just bought an 800 lb. Niles Bement, I do not have it set yet. Hopefully in July I will have it hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Sculpture Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 PM sent Pete, you may take a look at the steam hammer thread as well. Matt where did you get 800? 5 weeks and counting :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrismetalsmith Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Danger, without taking it out of the piston guide, I don't know the exact weight. But my calculations have it between 750 and 800. All of the catalogs that I have seen did not list a 700 or 750 model. I think we have the same exact model that was sold as an 800 lb. hammer. That catalog I posted in the steam hammer thread has the sizes. Not to say that they didn't make some other sizes not listed there. But I think we have what they sold as a 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Sculpture Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks Matt, I sure would like to have a 800 :blink: maybe I do! You gonna post up any progress photos in the steam hammers thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
