Loesch Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 First run testing of tire hammer I built. Largely based on Spencer and anvilfire pictures and any other photos or information I could find on the web. I wanted to take advantage of everything I could and using a hub assembly off the rear of a front wheel drive vehicle provided a brake system predesigned and fitted. 62 lbs ram weight, 800 lbs in anvil section, approx. 1200 lbs total as it sits (think I need to add a little more anvil weight as the ram came in above what I had planned), 1 hp motor at full rpm would be over 300 BPM but from the video it is obviously running slower than that. Still needing adjustments and tuning but I will wait until a proper guard is in place before using. I am waiting for full testing and tuning before painting unit. Current investment just under $700 USD which includes a spool of mig wire and a new tank of shielding gas.

kubiack Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Nice looking hammer. It appears to run really well. I'd like to see more video of it hitting hot steel once you get all the adjusting finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
