forgemaster Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Naked anvil showed me this years ago. I've worked out it is a forge shop in Japan. They have a drop hammer that has been converted to open die configuration, hence it runs so slow. Really cool action with the bars though, I tried it at work but our hammers run/strike too quick for it to be effective. Yeh it seems as though they have a mechanical problem at the end. The hammer is basically a board drop hammer that has had remote electrical lift and drop controls fitted to it. The hammer drivers actually sits a fair way away (compared to normal practice anyway) and drives the hammer off a console with 3 buttons or so. I have a bit of a vid of it making other stuff that I'll see if I can find and put that up too. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Impressive, but super dangerous and slow way to make that part. In US shops today a part that size is handled with mobile manipultors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
