[TheForge] Krause/Nazel type air hammer - YAK

Wed Dec 4 13:50:01 2002

The point I was making is I have Kenyons and I have worked on Nazels and 
I own a 330 lb. Beche that runs at 180 bpm all day at any foot pedal 
placement.
My kenyon will crack a egg but not at 200 bpm and even with the the AFC 
modifications, but when I feather with the kenyon I feel its at 50 bpm 
and of course when I run it full its going at 200 bpm.

Yes I can move the roller switch down and readjust the pressures and get 
higher speed when I am feathering, but then you have to stop and 
re-adjust to do the heavy work on the Kenyon...

I would love to own a 120 lb. self contained but the cost is to much.

The cost is  why I started the thread about the Krause/Nazel, I was 
hoping we could put are heads together as a group and come up with a 
solution. I have a machinist that is interested but he is not cheep. He 
does a lot of work for the race car people that require real close 
tolerance work..

>>>I used this modification on the first hammer I built, but found that the little needle valve on the top port caused the hammer to act "all goofy" and even open it was restricting the flow.  As an experiment I took it off and I have just as much control (I can close a matchbox without crushing it) and it hits harder.
