People automatically think of a "Planishing Hammer" when someone mentions an "Air Hammer." But a planishing hammer is designed for finishing and smoothing, right? What about shaping and forming operations that need really heavy hammering, and not just light hammering? Heavy shaping operations need a shaping hammer. Heavy shrinking operations need a shrinking hammer. Industry tends to call the heavy electric hammers used on sheet metal, "Power Hammers." But we have designed a hammer that does these heavy forming operations using air, so what to call it? Air Power Hammer? Air Hammer? It certainly does far more than a "planishing hammer," as you will see in this film.
This new film challenges the craftsman by showing how our Air Hammer shrinks 16 ga. steel with one set of dies, and then shrinks heavy aluminum and copper - even 1/8 thick copper - with a different set of dies.
You will see rapid stretching methods for making compound curves and also reverses using several different sets of dies. Additionally, we show in detail how to curve flanges for wired edges and windscreen frames.
Oh yes, the "Planishing Hammer" capability is also demonstrated.
Also included is a step-by-step sequence showing the complete process of making wing root fairings (extreme reverse shapes) for the polished Hughes H1 airplane replica constructed in Oregon.
The Air Hammer will truly open your eyes and show you how to make more shapes in more metals than you might think possible. And it does amazingly well making repairs on damaged parts.
Air Hammer Operations, 120 minutes, digitally filmed and edited.

TM Technologies takes pride in knowing we offer the best products on the market for metal working. In an effort to continue this tradition we are constantly improving our products and our product line. If you have any comments or suggestions about this, or any of our other products, we want to hear from you.
TM Technologies is now proud to offer our Instructional DVDs as rentals. Our DVDs give you the opportunity to learn some of the metalworking techniques taught in our hands-on workshops -- in the comfort of your own home and at your convenience. We believe it is not our job to make it look easy, but to show you how easy it can be. Here is how it works:
| 1. |
Choose the DVD(s) of your choice to rent. You can do this online or by phone. |
| 2. |
When we receive your order it will be mailed to you via U.S. Mail service. This could take 3-7 days depending on your location. |
| 3. |
Your DVD will arrive to you in a two way mailer. DO NOT discard this envelope, you will use this to return the DVD back to us. Use the pull tab to open the envelope. |
| 4. |
This is the really easy part – Watch – Listen – And Learn! Take it all in, watch it more than once if you feel the need. Although we charge you for a 7-day rental, you may actually keep the DVD a bit longer, as long as you have it return to us no later than 30 days after your order was placed. If you decide you would like to keep the DVD, contact us at 530-292-3506 and we will credit you the price of the rental towards a purchasing the DVD. All DVD rentals that are purchased receive an additional 10% off the purchase price. |
| 5. |
When you are finished, return the DVD back to us. Simply tear off the part of the mailer that has your address along the perforated line. Insert the DVD to be returned, pull back the double sided tape, and press closed! The return address and correct postage will already be applied to the mailer. Drop it in a mailbox and you are finished. |
