What type of power hammer do you use?

I'm using a Blacker Model B

How big is the anvil for it?

[marcusb]

Whatever Fisher supplied with them back in 28. I installed the machine myself, I can say it "felt" close to 500 pounds as I muscled it up my makeshift ramp.

[ThomasPowers]

I was told mine was 515 pounds but never weighed it. I guess I should take it to the feed store and get a formal weight on it.

I would think the owner of the fisher norris museum should know the weights. Does he still frequent this site?

[ThomasPowers]

Yes he's active over in another thread: NJAnvilman.

BTW does yours have a serial number stamped in the side near the face?  I think Blacker did that as it's a fine stamp and I've seen another one that was two digits off from mine.  (I'll try to remember to record it when I'm home this weekend, as well as take the measurements on my anvil.)

[marcusb]

Yep, it has a number to the right of the inset

I sent NJanvilman a message

I use a Striker 40kg (88 lb) hammer...5 HP, 220 v motor.
