That is a tad pricey, in my opinion.

If it was completely rebuilt, with a nice new motor and kill switch, I'd still have to haggle on it. Most can be found much cheaper.

I figured it was a tad high, didnt figure that high.

Is it me? or does the thing have a honking big crack in the pedestal part ?

(What the heck do you call the thing that holds the thing the hammer strikes?)

I don't see the crack?
It's called the "Sow Block"

That thing is a whole lot larger than my little giant. Maybe a little over priced, but not by too far I don't think? Power hammers are a little difficult to find around here though.

>I don't see the crack?
Left , around the front.

>It's called the "Sow Block"
OK, was thinking that was just the square piece itself...

>Power hammers are a little difficult to find around here though
Never see them around here, even at machine auctions, dunno why, I know several indistries that used them ....

The part I drew an arrow to? Definitely some missing there. I'm guessing from someone trying to get the key out (3) or one that wasn't put in right.

In the picture, 1 would be the "bottom die", 2 would be the "sow block".
