February 21, 20188 yr This is some new tooling I have just made for my power hammer Sorry I cant get the video to load
February 22, 20188 yr Author 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
February 23, 20188 yr Author I have tried that many times and it just wont work, I am wondering if you tubes settings have changed as I cant post to my business FB either
February 23, 20188 yr 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.

February 23, 20188 yr Author 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
March 3, 20188 yr That's some nice action you're getting with that hammer. I see why folks like Masseys.
March 6, 20188 yr 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?
March 6, 20188 yr Author 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

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!
April 4, 20188 yr great tooling, may suit a forging press more than a hammer but how to load faster and eject?

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
April 5, 20188 yr 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
