[TheForge] air hammer follow up

[James]

Thanks for the input on the air hammer question, Ries.

Talked to both dealers, I know James at Anyang a little bit.

Brian, who sells Sahinler, says the top of the die on the Anyang goes 
back into the top (is that the "tup"?) when the ram retracts and that 
limits the use of wide TOP tooling on the Anyang which is affixed to the 
die, whereas the Sahinler has no such problem, issue, whatever.  Of 
course, he is selling his hammer too.

Since my only experience is my little Moloch 25, I have no experience, 
nor have I seen much in the way of hammers other than on the Internet.

The Sahinler 100# SM 50 is $11k and a little more w/ 3 phase electrics 
w/ 2 sets of dies.  The Anyang 88 a little less than $9k.

Most of my hammer work so far (8 years) has been to taper smaller stuff 
and texture all sorts of stuff, up to 3" (mostly flat bar) and 3" is a 
real stretch for my Moloch.
