Sat Jan 11 09:26:01 2003

Little Giant, 50# ram, 2hp 240v single phase, 100% duty cycle.

Spencer style treadle hammer, 65# ram, 1 leg power,  duty cycle varies.

>1) Type: mechanical (Little Giant, etc.), external compressor (Kinyon,
>etc.), self contained, air or hydraulic (Nazel, etc.)?
>
>2) Ram weight and bpm.?
>
>3) Motor hp. 120v, 240v, single or three phase? Other?
>
>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.)
>
>I know there are a bunch of other variables effecting a hammer's efficiency
>but this is a casual poll.
