[TheForge] speaking of air cylinders

Sat Mar 22 19:21:01 2003

Interesting, looks like 4-500 hours out of a 1400 mile cylinder at 200 bpm
and 200mm stroke, stroke is usually less but my cylinder was bought used, so
10 hours a week gives me a year before a rebuild, the hammer probably does
less hours than that though I guess. What was the difference between the
1400 and the 2800 mile cylinder?
