BeaverNZ Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 If you want to see tooling being used have a look on you tube under title of Massey power hammer forging 1/2" rivets and you should find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc1 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Oh my ... hands under a running hammer. You can have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I am thinking that the forge needs moves closer to the hammer. The dies may get a little warm after 500 rivets. Make a run (quantity) of rivets and put them on the shelf for when they were needed. Great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe attach a handle to each section of the lower die, which would also aid in separating its halves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaverNZ Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 JHCC thanks for that I dont know why it wouldnt for me I even tried lots of swearing while doing it and it didnt help either Cheers Beaver PS I dont beleive my fingers are in any danger as they are not under where they can be crushed but a handle is on the list as the dies do get hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanderson Iron Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 That's some nice action you're getting with that hammer. I see why folks like Masseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Budd Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 nice tooling and it clearly works well, but I can't help thinking that you could buy an awful lot of 1/2" rivets for the price of the time you spent making it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaverNZ Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Dave thats just it, you cant get rivets here unless you import them from England or you make them yourself so i did as I like making tooling and in the long term should pay for its self Cheers Beaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a shrude buisness plan to me! Now if you make an ejector for tooling to sit one you'll be making them faster that your forge can heat your blanks!

the iron dwarf Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 great tooling, may suit a forging press more than a hammer but how to load faster and eject? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a larger version for making 3/4x4 inch rivets that goes in the press, mainly because the tooling needs about 350mm of travel I will have to post it here Cheers Beaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the iron dwarf Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I have what may be the worlds smallest forging press, it weighs about 66 pounds, just over 10 tons, can do a stroke in less than 1 second, and I can set the stroke to within a few thou in both directions. I have lots of large rivets but may think about smaller ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
