[TheForge] New pictures and hammer survey

Sat Jan 11 19:59:00 2003

No trinkets to the neighbors yet I'll have to get to that.  The valves are
Parker  the cylinder is an old 2"x12" hydraulic cylinder.  The ram weight is
50lb.  I just uploaded pictures of the pilot valve it is adjustable and I welded
a piece of 3/4 square to the top of the ram.  I have not counted the blows per
minute yet but it seems to be fairly quick.  The uhmw is fastened with
countersunk head screws to the inside of the tube into tapped holes,  there are
also tapped holes to put bolts on the outside to push the uhmw in I may put
those in if needs it as things wear right now it seems fairly tight.  I am
running a 3hp compressor it is JUST enough so far but I have not had time to use
the hammer that much yet  and I think that I will have to add another compressor
.  That 3hp is a full 3hp, same amperage as most retail 5hp even some 6hp
compressors.
