Stainless Steel hammer
Finally got my old South Bend lathe up and running I bought this summer needed more work than I had first thought! anyway still have a few things I want to do to it but I can use it now and get a couple small jobs I have wanted to do with it. Anyway here is my new one peice 70gram hammer with delrin ends on it, turned out good and thought I would post a picture of my first of many projects I am hoping to do. The lathe is an older one but popular one to get, it is a South Bend A lathe 4ft bed with a 9 inch swing not a big one, the longer lenght was popular with gun smiths so they could do barrel work, I got a good deal on it needs more that I first thought but was able to fix everything myself and learned a bunch about it by having it tore completly down and fixing all that need fixed, so that was a good learing experience for me! I now know my lathe inside and out for sure!!

Eddie, you’ll probably increase the consistency of the strike by decreasing the surface area riding on the frame. You may want to put a slight taper on the delrin ends.
The model A is a nice machine. Capable of tremendous accuracy. I didn’t care much for the bull gear and having to dig the pin out everytime taking it out of backgear, but it was a fun machine to work with as a teenager.
aloha,

Way to go Eddie 😉

Thanks for the advice walt I will do that, I have to think a single hammer will be a bit more consistent than two just my opinion, I am going to try and put it in next week and try it out 😆
