Pieh Tool

In the Navy, a jet fighter is termed a “weapons platform”. The Sahinler Air Hammer is designed as a tool platform. It’s +8” stroke, 12” throat ( SM50), instantly interchangeable die setup and sensitive throttle control combine to produce an unbeatable force. Put yourself in control of that steel. With a Sahinler Air Hammer and some Hammerhead Dies steel has met it’s match and will capitulate to your commands. The Sahinler SM-50, SM-60 and SM-34 air hammers are self contained forging hammers designed for use in blacksmith shops, welding and fabricating plants, maintenance facilities and schools. Bladesmiths will find the Sahinler SM-50, SM-60 and SM-34 the best choices for Damascus work. Interchangeable upper and lower dies allow the user to form hot metal into an infinite variety of shapes. The basic machine comes standard with flat dies, 2.375" x 4.75". Examples of optional dies include radius and flat combinations and radius, flat and fuller combos. Open faced mold dies can also be used, such as leaf and scroll end.

The versatility of the Sahinler line continues to shine through with our base system. The idea behind the base is simple. You want to have a machine that stays put when you’re using it, but is easily moveable when it’s time. The fabricated steel base, which stands 10 inches high, floats on 5 neoprene strips that interface the steel with your concrete floor. A floor-bolted flange at the front prevents the machine from walking. The steel gives a much better return action than wood and the base has forklift slots for easy transport.

These terrific hammers have been circulating through the North American blacksmithing and metal fab community since 1989. You work hard with a difficult material. Make your job easier, more productive and, yes, more fun. A Sahinler Air Hammer, coupled with some Hammerhead Dies will go a long way toward satisfying these requirements.
