Those bolts will strip the hell out of that linkage. Bolts mark up mild steel and bronze / brass alloys will get destroyed, that connection in particular is worrisome.
You had too small of a quench bucket without enough quench oil to adequately harden that 4140, it was too much mass for such a small amount of oil that it didn’t cool quick enough as a result
I was thinking the same thing. I also thought he could have done the initial quench in oil and then switched to water to complete the quench. This way the oil would "soften " the cool down as opposed to a violent water quench that may make it too brittle. But it seemed to work so. . It must be very gratifying to be able to forge on a power hammer you built from scratch. Congratulations I'm green with envy.lol keep up the good work.

A trailer supply store has a stub axle, hub and bearing assembly to fit your tire and wheel
im having problems with the uwhm plastic inserts - i cant keep them in - the anvil keeps pulling them out - any suggestions?

How big is the anvil part of the hammer? Where do you get it. I’m having trouble trying to find that big of a piece.
Its a 6 inch round steel bar, you can get them at most steel suppliers
Hi bud, if you are just quench hardening and not tempering your dies, will they not be brittle and have the potential to shatter off?
Yeah your absolutely right ! I did temper them don't worry
Excuse me, how many cycles of the motor used in the hammer, is 3000 cycles useful?
The one I used is a 3450 rpm motor. You could use a slithly larger drive wheel with your 3000 rpm motor
How can I get a plan? except for the link under the video.
We sell them on etsy, you can go there if you want to buy some !
@@KOPOprojects I can't go in there.
I'm sorry but we currently sell the plans on no other platforms

It does make alot of sense ! Thank you for the tip

Boring with a threading bar, I'm surprised it made it out alive

the PN for the sprocket in the plan is not the correct size its too large
