CarolusFaber Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Hi everyone! Two years ago I bought a small self-contained power hammer (40 kg ram, around 88 lbs) from the 50s. The model is called "Ariete" (the italian word for ram, the animal) and was manufactured by a company called "Mario Pensotti". I was wondering if anyone here (especially, but not only, the smiths from Europe and Italy) owns an italian-made power hammer (from Pensotti itself, or other manufacturers like Apuania Corsi, Maccaferri...) It would be nice to collect here some information, specs, blueprints and so on about that equipment and build something like an historical archive. Thank to you all in advance!

swedefiddle Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Good Morning, Carolus It looks similar in size and construction to a Nazel 2B that I had. Welcome from the left coast of North America. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forja-Vulcan Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I am planning to buy a Rimoldi 90 kg power hammer. Has anyone used such a machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
