Power hammer build questions - Bladesmith's Forum Board

Motor for power hammer? - Bladesmith's Forum Board
Apr 19, 2013 · How large a hammer will you build? A ten pound ram would require less than a 50. A 2hp motor runs the 50 weight moloch/little giant/murray hammer with power to spare.

Little Giant 25 Help - Beginners Place - Bladesmith's Forum Board
Nov 20, 2018 · Yesterday I acquired a very nice Little Giant 25 lb. hammer. I tested it when I picked it up, and it seemed to run fine. Upon getting it home however, the hammer won't start unless I press the treadle down very sharply (can't make it start slowly). Once it's going, it won't stop until I shut the power off. Taking my foot off the treadle does ...
