Alldays & Onions 1-CWT Electro-Pneumatic Forging Hammer

Specs:

-Built in approximately 1930 (assuming by the age of the motor), but the design of the machine goes back to the late 1800s.

-Rated at 1 CWT ram (112 pounds), but actual weight is 139 pounds with die.

-Motor is 7.5 HP (probably has more than that), and runs on 440V 3 Phase electricity. This motor was restored after being in the bush for many years.

-Gear driven.

-About 7500 lbs total weight.

-Originally used on a British Navy Ship. The fellow I bought it from had acquired it from the ship when it was being scrapped in Nova Scotia, Canada, in the 1990s.

-Acquired from the previous owner in Minnesota in 2017.

-Modified by adding a pipe and ball valve coming from the rear cylinder head in order to increase control on lighter hits.
