SJS Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Here are some hammer eye tools that I just finished grinding last night, Got some new belts for the 2x48 belt grinder and slicked them down... Hope to get to try them out soon... I have another hammer eye drift that I did several years ago, which is a bit thinner. These drifts are a bit thicker. All made out of S7 1 1/8" lathe drops, maybe 4-6" long. I try to NEVER strike them with a forging hammer, I either use a cheap beater, or a copper, or brass hammer...

ForgeMan32 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Those look pretty slick and you could always weld a piece of mild steel to the striking end and maybe soften the blow but I'm sure you would have to preheat s7 before welding. I'm working on a 2 by 72 grinder at the moment to make grinding easier for myself also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Trez Cole Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 being made from s-7 you wll not have to make and other set they will last for a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Fine work, hoss. I just picked up a handled punch that's a bit worse for wear and I think it just might be a good candidate for an eye punch..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
