Building a DIY POWER HAMMER | Part 3 | WITH PLANS

[@thomasnewton9818]

Looks really good. One place that I recommend improving is at all the bolted bearing hinge points. The bearings must ride on the smooth shaft of the bolts and not the threads. The threads will eat the bearings. Also add grease fittings and passages.

[@KOPOprojects]

Great idea !

Very well built and with all the explanation. Really encouraging and inspiring. Thanks very much.

[@BentleyGarner]

Fantastic build.

[@atifmehmood128]

Nice job 👍

[@aspitofmud6257]

It looks very well made. I found that the white lithium grease in a spray can works very well on the hammer portion. Good luck with all you do.

[@KOPOprojects]

Thank you ! I will try that !

[@SchysCraftCo.]

It turned out very unique and very beautiful. The Craftsmanship there is very amazing and awesome. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friends. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. keep Making. God Bless.

You are really clever and skillful man.I watched your 3 video.I hope so I will do your power hammer in my workshop.greetings from Turkiye bro.

[@KOPOprojects]

Thank you so much ! Hope you have fun building yours !

Minted hammer fella' Seems like I will have to get cracking on mine. ta ta.

I just purchased a king horn spring hammer got to put it together looking forward to see it working good video

Congratulaciones Camarada. Excelente proyecto. Saludos a todos desde México.

Gracias !

[@marcondesleite4744]

Trabalho excelente, meu brother. Parabéns.

[@stevenlisk2468]

Nice work mate 👍

[@KOPOprojects]

Thanks!

[@anthonybruno4424]

Very nice job. I really want to build one myself.

[@KOPOprojects]

Thanks ! We have diy plans to build one yourself in the video description !

[@dennistennyson4540]

Personally I would use graphite grease to lubricate the ram.

[@VileAce]

I know this is an older video but links, in the description, or cards to the first and second parts would be great. I took a while to scroll back 2 years worth of videos to find the other parts.

[@KOPOprojects]

Thank you, I'll look into that !

[@KOPOprojects]

Thank you, I'll look into that !

[@chrisdaube5435]

Nice work Any chance you could share spring dimensions? I have a hammer mostly built but feel my spring is too light. If not, no worries Cheers

mc master carr part: 96485K197 Have fun forging !

[@jastikawoodmetaldiyproject7276]

Very impressed with the design and work. Before I purchase the plans I had one question. You said the dimensions were altered on the plans to correct the arms from hitting the ram. I take that statement to mean you adjusted the plans so the arms no longer hit the ram and you do not have to mill out those angled notches in the ram now? Is that correct?

[@KOPOprojects]

Yes exactly everything is corrected in the plans you won't have to mill an angled notch!

[@jastikawoodmetaldiyproject7276]

@@KOPOprojects perfect thanks...

[@kentrsek3813]

I found that your dies in the video are larger than specified in the plans. Even with the corrected anvil height, I still needed to add another 1 inch plate to get the dies to the 1 5/8 dimension recommended. Also, the turnbuckle adjustment won't work with only the right hand threaded rod in the parts list. I highly recommend having the holes for the bearings done on a milling machine as I found a drill press to be too imprecise. Good plans overall. I just finished this build, cost about US$2500.

[@KOPOprojects]

Thanks for the info ! I will correct everything that I can in the plans !

[@etiennefaure1445]

hello let me send you a message I watched your video on making your hammer and I bought the plans on esty. Everything is very good, do you just have the internet link for pillow block bearings? thank you in advance, truthfully yours

[@KOPOprojects]

Hi Étienne, Could you please contact us from your etsy account and we will give you all the support that you need ! By the way we speak french if it's easier for you !

[@rakeshdestiny]

6:30 Are you in contact with Bold Head? Or a seat has been kept in the middle of it. Open it once and tell what is the technique.

[@KOPOprojects]

There is a plastic bearing surface between the bolt head and the ram ! I hope this answer your question ?

[@imsteamer21]

im having problems with the uwhm plastic inserts - the anvil keeps pulling them out - any suggestions

[@KOPOprojects]

You need a retainer over them that have a square hole 1/16 to 1/8 larger than your ram. This way they will not be pulled out.

[@Chrisbugg8888]

i have the retainers and they are stil pulling out

[@KOPOprojects]

I would say either try a tighter fit on the retainers or try thicker uhmw insert so that they can't be pulled out

what was the actual cost on the build ? steel does cost different in every state . McMaster-Carr is a great place to buy many items little pricey but well worth it

[@KOPOprojects]

I paid about 2000 canadian dollars about a year ago if this help you !

[@howto1863]

Not too sure if you haven't already mentioned it, must have missed it, but what did it cost you to build this absolute unit of a hammer?

[@KOPOprojects]

Depending on the cost of steel in your region it will cost you about 2000 dollars to build this hammer with new material

[@weswerblades6497]

@@KOPOprojectsthat is a great price!

[@ravenhhca]

I'm guessing you are in North America, possibly Canada

[@XBuilder01]

It all looks clean and well built, but can we see it run? "Don't buy until you test drive"...

[@KOPOprojects]

Of course of course, if you want we have a youtube short with me using the hammer with hot steel but if you want more send us a e-mail at [e-mail] and we will gladly answer all of your question and send you video of the machine running !

[@kittisakbuanamorm6721]

how many motor HP.?

[@KOPOprojects]

I used a 2 Hp motor but you could make it work with a 1 1/2 Hp motor !

[@kittisakbuanamorm6721]

@@KOPOprojects thank you

[@azanjilewis3648]

What type of motor is being used for the power hammer is it low or high speed motor

[@KOPOprojects]

It's a low rpm motor it runs at about 1750 rpm !
