[TheForge] Trip Hammer Advice

[Jerry Frost]

A few of us were looking at setting up a 50# LG (I 
think) this summer. It was set up originally to run off 
a line shaft and we were kicking ideas around for 
changing over from a flat belt. My thought was to use a 
small rubber wheel or tire straight off the motor for 
the drive, like the newly developing tire hammer. The 
new owner used a pair of "V" belts with no problem. I 
agree with going with a proven tech but would've liked 
to experiment a bit.

Frosty,
Thanks.  I think I'm in the right BPM range based on my 
research.  I got the motor wired up yesterday and 
almost have the motor mount fabricated.  I might be 
able to take it for a little test drive by this 
afternoon.  I still need to tighten up the ram gibs to 
take out the slop.  It sounds simple enough in theory. 
We shall see....
