[TheForge] Hammer poll

[Phil]

Jerry, here are my responses:

>1) Type: mechanical (Little Giant, etc.), external compressor (Kinyon,
>etc.), self contained, air or hydraulic (Nazel, etc.)?

PR - External compressor, 6.5hp X 60 gal.
>
>2) Ram weight and bpm.?

PR - 40#, don't know, never counted.
>
>3) Motor hp. 120v, 240v, single or three phase? Other?

PR - NA
>
>4) Duty cycle? (an estimate of how many minutes out of a ten minute block,
>or how long your hammer will run without running out of air. This question
>is really only applicable to an external compressor air hammer.)

PR - This never comes into play on my set up.  Even if I'm doing a lot of forging, the air pressure builds back up while I'm going back to the fire to heat something up.
