firebug Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I need someone to point me in the direction of any information concerning the daily maintenance and repair of Iron KISS airhammers. I have a 75 lb model I bought used. I am willing to pay for a copy of any written manual or video. If the info is located on the web somewhere I would be forever grateful if you would point me in the right direction. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 You might try Kayne & Sons Blacksmith Depot. I understand they are (or were) Iron Kiss dealers. You can google iron kiss hammers LLC they have a facebook page and lot of sites on google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronAlchemy Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I have the manual for my 100lb Ironkiss. Each hammer came with a manual specifically for that hammer since John Larson often made ongoing improvements and changes. Maintenance should be similar. Contact me with a personal message if you want a copy of my manual and I will scan it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebug Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 I truly appreciate that brother. Let me know what I owe you. I really want to maintain and understand how it’s supposed to work and be adjusted. I only used mine a little before I had to disconnect it and move to another shop. Every once in a while it would stick at the top. Gary Cremeens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billf Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hi for what it's worth, I have an Iron Kiss 50 and have the original manual - I could make a copy of it if you wish if the 100 Lb manual doesn't work out Bill Flynn wflynn000@gmail.com on a related topic - does anyone have contact info for Brian Russell, who apparently used to (still does?) make replacement dies for these hammers? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Got a local VoTech with a Machinist program? Sometimes they will do things for a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
