Dake Power Hammer

You are now ready to start shaping metal
Everyone has their own technique when it comes to shaping and you will need to find your own. So,
practice, think , practice and think some more before practicing again. We have found that like
forming by hand, it is easier to get the desired shape using the Dake power hammer by using several
steps to “sneak up” on the final shape, versus trying to get the shape in one step.
A good source of information on how to use a power hammer type machine like this , is reading any
of the several books on sheet metal shaping currently available.
Have fun and be safe!!!!!

Maintenance
You need to maintain your Dake power hammer as you would any other piece of shop equipment.
More use requires more maintenance. This should include, but not limited to checking and greasing
bearings and bushings regularly. Check for any loose components, lines and connections and replace
as needed.
