Shop Dog Tech Request

You gotta do a tech article on this for sure!

 

what he said.

 

hi guys,

i`m going to do a step by step build on metalmeet starting in a few weeks.

i`m still researching the different designs out there to decide which i`ll be going with.

my goal is to build a two headed hammer (one end for shrink ,one for stretch so no wasted time switching back and forth)

the design i`m looking at is one where the hammer can be used like a power hammer (with an overhit) or as a recipricating hammer (like a pullmax) and also is a guided way hammer for more repeatable shrinking.

i should say , just so its clear, i did not invent or even think of this idea. shop dog and anoka have been selling plans and machines for a while. the owner of shop dog (richard k) came up with this particular idea but this particular machine has never been built.

i`ll keep you guys posted as this is built, i still have quite a few questions about the design. (how heavy to make the rotating ***y. ?, balancing of a two headed hammer ? those kinds of questions)

Cool.. all keep my eyes open

 

Bringing this one back.

 

from the dead no less

 

wow , this is an old thread.

i built the hammer i was talking about , works great. its has adjustable stroke , variable speed, lots of clearance adjustments for doing body lines etc.

Honestly, If you are interested enough to want to look, you might as well join.
Metalmeet is a great resource. You will be pleasantly surprised to find a lot of Hamb folks over there.

 

Absolutely worth it.
