December 19, 20196 yr OK everything I just wrote dissapeard, Here is my home made power hammer, I am trying to make a living being an artist blacksmith and bronze foundry, I have also made a Pneumatic planshing hammer
December 19, 20196 yr Author I built this hammer I think in 2010, everyone sed it wouldn't work or last, but I have been using it almost every day, it would be better with a solid anvil but works ok, there is no 3 phase power where my shop is and I could not find a single phase motor with enough HP and they were super expensive, in damp weather I have to put chalk dust on the belt to help it slip and in summer I have to put water on it to shrink it, I think when I replace the alloy guides I will make bronze ones.
