Do-it-yourself soft hammer

Hello to you, dear the inhabitants of our site!
I hope this article will be useful for everyone working in their workshop or at home. It will focus on the classical instrument - the hammer.

The author of "Be Creative" decided to make a lightweight, or "soft hammer." One problem in manufacturing - you need a lathe.

Materials
- Aluminum round timber and bar.
- A pair of brass bolts.


Instrumentsused by the author.
- Lathe
- Cutters for a lathe
- Drilling machine
- Band-saw
- Vise
- Lerka, taps
- Knurling nozzle.

Manufacturing process.
The author begins with the manufacture of the hammer head, turning it from an aluminum round saw. Clips a round in the lathe chuck and processes one side of the hammer.





Then he turns over the blank and processes the second side. It also cuts decorative stripes on the cheeks.







Processing of the head is completed, the next step, the author pitches the place for mounting the handle.



Clamps the workpiece in a vice, laying soft material, so as not to damage the head. Drills first small diameter, then large.


Then, using a tap, cuts the thread in the hole.


A handle is made from an aluminum bar. Standard edge treatment.




It fixes the workpiece with the help of the tailstock, sets the knurling nozzle, and applies a notch.









At one end of the handle removes excess metal, cuts the thread.






At the second end, drills a hole, cuts a thread for a decorative bolt.

Processes a brass bolt.




All parts are ready, you can assemble the product.






That's all, the tool is ready!



Thanks to the author for an interesting idea! I am sure that such a hammer can well be presented to a friend of the master.
All the good tools!

P.S. They knock not on the indicator, but on the part. The indicator controls the process.
That's just with the help of such a "sledgehammer", according to the indicator and put up. The component is not clamped tightly, the runout is checked, in the place of a larger deviation, tap on the part or cartridge, and so on until an acceptable value is obtained. then the part is already thoroughly tightened and the procedure is repeated, if necessary. It is applied at fair turning or round grinding. The usual tolerance of beating is 0.02-0.05 mm.
used for alignment of runout details
Thank you, honestly, I didn’t know, I know the watch type indicators, I didn’t know the sledgehammer, live a century, study a century, but you still have to die! smile
It is impossible to combine aluminum with copper and its alloys in constructions - galvanic couple.
Hammers made of soft materials (duralumin, brass) are used to calibrate the runout of a part when installed in a turning chuck. After a month of intensive work (at the factory), the hammer of such a hammer is a hat of a forged nail and asks for an ejection. The round metal handle is not convenient to use, and its diameter is small. So this is really a gift option.
I’m embarrassed to ask, though I’m not catching up, what work is this tool intended for? Besides
can be presented to a friend
