[TheForge] Trip Hammer Advice

[Jerry Frost]

Aubrye:

The proper pully size may vary from machine to machine 
and probably manufacturer to manufacturer. If you know 
how many BPM spec calls for it'll be easy enough to 
calculate the size of the primary pully from the 
secondary pully and motor RPM.

Bob,
I'm encouraged to hear that you have had a good 
experience with your Mayer hammer.  I spoke to Sid on 
the phone yesterday.  He was very helpful and gave me 
some good advice on adjusting the ram guides and 
clutch.  I found that 3" motor pulley diameter on a 
website somewhere, but I'm not sure where.  From your 
experience, it sounds like smaller would also work.

Thanks,
Aubrey
