Mounting

The Model G0711 can be mounted on the optional Model G0712 stand or a sturdy workbench.

Optional Stand (G0712)

Instructions for mounting the planishing ham- mer to this stand are provided with the stand. Follow those instructions, then continue with the Assembly & Setup instructions provided on this sheet.

Workbench

Make sure the workbench is sturdy enough to support the weight of both the machine and workpieces, and the forces that will occur while hammering. Also, make sure the workbench is not so tall that the foot switch cannot be comfortably placed on the floor.

Place the C-frame on the workbench so the hammer/anvil portion extends over the edge, as shown below.

Use 38" (or 10mm) diameter fasteners. The length of the bolts/screws will depend on the thickness of the workbench. The type of fasteners required to install the planishing hammer will depend on how you choose to mount it. The two most common options for mounting are the through-mount and direct-mount methods (see Figures 4–5below).

After the C-frame has been positioned where you want to mount it, transfer the mounting hole locations from the C-frame mounting plate into the workbench, so they are marked clearly for drilling.

One way to transfer these hole locations accu- rately is to place a 38" (or 10mm) drill bit in the mounting hole with the bit pointing against the workbench. Lightly tap the backside of the drill bit with a hammer, rotate the drill bit 90°, then tap it again. This method will leave a light "X" in the surface of the workbench, which is centered in the hole.

Drill or pre-drill the mounting holes as necessary for the fasteners you will use for mounting. (A 14" drill bit is commonly used to pre-drill for 38".)
