Another brilliant jig!

This is one of the slickest and useful jigs I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing it, I just subbed to your channel now and I’ll be looking forward to seeing your genius!

Wonderfull, design, and build. NO motors, No belts, No extra NOISE, just air going ''fffftt''' fffftt ''. Is there a diagram, for the air system/ controls / ?

Wonderfull, build, sirs ! Appears, you've made alot of ' spear ' points. YOUR EXPERIENCE, SHOWS vividly, Sir ! . Forgers' creed ;;. sleep, eat, heat, beat, re peat.......for heat treat. Chocolate ' treats' after job is done.....

I wonder if anyone has a tire wiring diagram? It’s not entirely clear to me how this works with one limit switch. When the switch is pressed, the ram starts to go down, but as soon as the switch is released, starts to press ram up. Is there so much lag that the ram still hits bottom with full force?

does it free fall? or is the cylinder pushing it down?

May I suggest using a gamble shaky jake. Sorry for the negative feedback it made me sick trying to watch.

Looks nice but little control in the lower end

This video was my inspiration, ten years ago.

Smooth and sounds solid,good clean work

Schematic for the pneumatic system any one???

That’s awesome! Love it

the exact dimensions of the skin please stamp

Your redesign on the head and the bearings look good. Your left hand shaking, reminds me of a joke about a kid watching a blacksmith making some horseshoes. Grampa told it to me several times over the years. The smith had finished one shoe and tossed it on the dirt to cool. The kid had to check it out. He barely got it picked up, when he threw it down. The smith laughed and said; “Burnt cha didn’t it.” The kid replied that it didn’t take him long to look at a horseshoe. I will say again that you have a nice hammer with great control. The action linkage at the cylinder and hammer show some smarts.

At one point you mentioned using linear bearings on your next attempt. Before you go that far, I believe your problems may be eliminated by using either solid bronze plates in place of the uhmw, that can warm up a bit. Another substitute could be Lamina plates. Try some molybdenum disulfide grease to reduce the friction. It is a nice hammer.

Verry good

I know this video was posted years ago. I love it. It inspired me to build a spring helve mechanical hammer on the basic design platform. I ran into similar problems with the guide material. After much though, research and cussing, I found the perfect plastic for this purpose. Acetyl, better known by its brand name Delrin. It's very hard so there is no problem with compression caused friction. It's slick as glass. It's impervious to grease. It's easily machined for indexing purposes. It's rigid enough that backing it with steel plate is unnecessary. I bought 5/8" thick stock and indexed it directly. Piece of cake. Easy to dial in. Just take any play out of the guides so they just touch the ram, add grease and go. Almost no friction and no "wobble". The ram tracks perfectly straight. I hope this bit of info is helpful to someone out there in power hammer land.

Can you explain, or make a video on what you’re using for punch lube?

I'd love to see a complete walk around static and running great design I like the linear head

The Acralloy shafts are a great idea. How did you attach the top and bottom plates to them? Looks like bolts through the top plate. Counterbores in the plate for the shafts? Same on the bottom, but covered by the welded-on ram head? Or plug welds through the bottom plate?

Two questions: would this work under a hydraulic press and what size ( or how deep) is the first offset? Very clever jig

Any chance of getting plans or measurements to make your tong jig sent to me , I will pay for them

You can buy the plans at abana.org

When i saw your beautiful machine i got inspired and tried to build one with the material i had. Not nearly the finess but it could be something for others to consider as it is easier to build. ua-cam.com/video/1xkezqOxJTw/v-deo.html

Nicely built! I am impressed how smooth it runs, yet a huge puch when choosen! With constant pressure you get this, not nearly as nice. But much simpler to build. ua-cam.com/video/1xkezqOxJTw/v-deo.html

This is brilliant my friend I wonder if you made any developments on it by now and is there any plans available?

I like this ,and was wondering what is needed for air how big of compressor ,and at what air pressure

That's AWESOME

Nice jig. There are many out there and are essentially the same. I will use yours as my starting point. You show the tong jig and the v jaw jig. But you mentioned an offset to the reins. You do not show this step. Do you create this offset on the anvil or did you make a simple offset jig?

this is an awesome hammer! could you tell me where I can find plans to build one like this?

I like the idea and have made a bottom dye/jig pretty close to what you have for my press,I'll upload a video of how it functions with my setup within the next couple weeks Thank you for sharing

My favorite power hammer video. Amazing control and solidity. You complained about the UHMW guides slowing the tuff down because of pressure. I have a solution for you. Swap them out for Delrin or Acetel. I built a tire hammer with it and it is wonderful stuff. Stiff enough to not need the steel back plate and stable enough that it won't warp or change dimensions with heat or moisture. Easy to cut and machine and with a bit of grease, slick as gorilla snot. Cheap too. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Are there plans available? Thanks

Great job ... Whats the minimum compressor to use with? Where can i buy the plans for build one? Parts list ... Thanks

Amazingly smooth. Power without control is just chaos.

Thanks I appreciate you sharing

If you have plans for your trip hammer I would like to buy a copy, thanks

Did you track the prices of the build? Plus or minus the metal parts? I would like to know about how much the parts would cost.. And how much the metal might cost in a range if the scrap yard had what you were looking for..

Very nice, compact and the sound of it is solid👍

Plans? Very nice control.

Nice hammer, are there plans available?

Me again... lol I just found your video on the bolt jaw jig. Pretty much answered my questions. Nicely done.

I like your jig and hope to build one. What size rivet would you use at the pivot? You said in a reply (about 6 years ago)... "I have another jig that uses the current jig as a starting point to make bolt tongs. I will post it in the near future." Did you ever post a video of that jig?

You'll need to experiment with the length as it depends upon the how long you want your reins. Maybe start with 10" ? This jig could not be easier for making power hammer tongs. I always make several at the same time for future use.

What is the length of your starting stock

Nice machine, very nice indeed. Thanks for posting the video. What sort of size / capacity of compressor is realistically needed to "drive" the Kenyon style hammer ?

colosso!!!!

your power hammer if you kept cutting the metal in half and fold it by forge welding the metal over and over does it make the metal weak or better?

what type of peddle valve are you using?

is that a single acting cyl? what is the bore & stroke ? how much air pressure?
