Hammer Handpieces

Overview of the H.15, H.15D and the Micromotor Hammer Handpiece H.MH.110 with Melissa Muir

[@flyingmonkeys9774]

I just got a MM hammer handpiece so I needed to see this. Many thanks.

[@tamaraadams9317]

You must have read my mind, Melissa! I was just thinking about this very topic! Thank you so much for posting this video. It really helped me decide! :-)

[@olegpetelevitch4443]

Just got mine ! Cool Stuff thank you !

[@isabelrowan6776]

Great demo! Please share how to alter the setting tips as in the 60 % radius alteration you used when setting the stone. Also which tip are you using to burnish out the edges of the flared rivets? Thank you so much!

[@angelfranco5809]

Do you know if you can use the foredom tx model with the hammer piece??

[@RISHABH6454]

Can we set fragile gemstone like Emerald, Selenite etc with hammer setting machine, are these machine work on motor or air compressor?

[@lars_of_the_north]

well, that was just added to my Amazon cart

[@whitelfner4582]

When did the H.15 add an oiling hole near the front? I read in my 'S' Manual that it needed to be taken apart every 100 hours or so and lubricated. I don't think mine is a fake, I bought it from a retired craftsman, he said it's 25-30 years old. He also said it might be a earlier hammer handpiece. Showed a pic with a #14 handpiece which looks very similar.

Hello, Can you take a picture and send it to Mike Z here at Foredom? [e-mail] He is the expert and can help you identify. Thank you!

At 4:00 you hammer the texture into the metal. I have a flat disc of silver am doing this as well however it is doming/deforming. It is extremely important that it doesnt dome. What can i do to avoid doming? Its 19 gauge and i cant use any thicker.

[@TheSilverSmithsBench1]

I just got the H.15D and the multi point set (AK101). Reviews for the handpiece ask for instruction on Rio Grande.

[@racket136]

I have ordered the pave point and polished it (using green rogue, as per your other video) yet I am not getting the texture that you are getting. It's not as deep and not polished as yours is. Could you explain what I could be doing wrong?

[@davidheskett1766]

Melissa, have you tried the hammer on stone? I'm looking for a tool that will give a hammered or 'pecked' finish on stone. David

[@dokterac6880]

I like it...

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya, we can see at 5:56 what you mean about not bending beyond the recommended angle, here you must have it bent to 90 deg, well beyond the recommended angle. Will they give you a new one when you break this one? Stay safe, Steve...

[@aquarius9900]

can this be used in place of a graver max air hand piece with a sharp engraving chisel ? or no

[@kathybradbury]

Foredoom does have a graver kit (I just got one from contenti) it’s a flex shaft motor with a specialized hand piece similar to the hammer hand pieces Melissa showed, but it uses a collet to accept various sized gravers and tools.

[@andyvan5692]

ironic, NOT following your own advise?? (at 5:52 you use the spring version, but it is bent @ approx 90 deg., NOT the 30deg. limit you say earlier on in the video).

[@audreyh6628]

I noticed that too! I don't see how its realistic to not work with a 90deg at least some of the time

[@texasgigi3684]

I bought the Foredom H.15 hammer. Now, I’m having a LOT of trouble trying to find a flex shaft that it’s compatible with. Is this only compatible with other Foredom flex shafts? I realllly need this tool! Help!! I went to Harbor Freight and to Lowe’s and they both told me that they didn’t have anything compatible with it.

[@ForedomElectricCo]

HI. Sorry you are having trouble. The H.15 is compatible with standard key tip shafting with industrial grade flex shafts.

[@luisxander2621]

😊

[@baqergt5062]

When I press the handpiece it stops kicking is this broken or normal ?

[@ForedomElectricCo]

[@t2kgames868]

Can i decorated name with this

[@12mygirls]

What bit are you using for the prongs on the two stones?

[@ForedomElectricCo]

It looks like Melissa is using the HP10175 cylinder anvil point that she modified and polished. Thanks for reaching out!

[@12mygirls]

@@ForedomElectricCo thank you!

[@ranalala5128]

5:46 braking her own rule

[@enriquecoria962]

Ok now can you show how to fix them when they break 😢..

[@GailHodder]
