Hey Dan. Iwas thinking press and motor all in one also.



The guys here and others convinced me to do a seperate motor mount thingie.

I'm going with the gas motor cause it would be cheaper than running an electric service to the shop.

Originally I was looking for a old lawnmower to mount the pump and tank on.
self mobile would be good. A friend gave me an 8hp motor If I can get it running I'll mount it on a trailer to pull behind the lawnmower. :D


Seems like a gas motor right on the press would be a bit noisy and ,well there is gas too.

with the Honda I doubt if you'll even hear it with the pump operating ,
Honda with it's muffler sty is very quite..
but I'm thinking too in mobility a few more feet of Hydraulic line may be the way to go in the long run.. may keep fumes down if able to set it elsewhere too..
I hope to set this up on a governor too. so it just Idles while not in use..
also these are very good on fuel..

they have vertical setups that the pump is right in the oil tank..
and the motor sets on top of the tank.
some of the wood splitters are like that.. for another idea :)

yes you have the Gas close to your work too :eek: good one :)
 
Dan the air lifts and then throws the hammer back down. When I say throw I mean when the hammer is coming down and the sensor tells it to start back up the hammer is moving fast enough that the more air you are feeding to it the hammer travels farther before the air can start the upstroke again. That overthrow is the blow and of course the faster the speed of the hammer due to increased air flow the harder the blow. After reading this I don't know if it makes sense or not!
I used the hammer today forging down a couple of hidden tangs, distal tapers and blade bevels. Sure makes it easier. Dan here is a link to a better description of how the hammer was made. Enjoy http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/hammer/hammer.html

Thanks Bill intersting read..

am I under standing this right?
by blow, you mean , hitting the steel ?
or blowing off Air?

and when the cly is almost to the bottom of the stroke it's compressing some of the air that is entering for the next lift?

Can't say I ever stopped to think about it Dan - but I think it must since the air is already coming in the bottom before the hammer hits the bottom of its stroke. Any yes, by blow I meant the actual striking of the hammer.
