Jack Hammer Compactor

<< < (2/3) > >>

florrieford:
twenty tyears ago I used a Hitachi 600w hammer to ram all the blocks for a whole house - put a taper on an old chisel and set it into a 200 x 75 x 50 mm cast iron block - worked well and I'm still living in the house. Have fun

Frank S:
fix your tamper foot  so that it can swivel like with a 3 inch ball.
 If you have access to a lathe machine a piece of stock resemble that of a 3 Inch ball with a 2 1/2 inch shank then taper the inside to fit the chisel

 here is an example

Frank S:
BY fixing it so it can swivel you wont have to be so perfectly vertical and is a whole lot easier on the old back and the equipment

petect:
Once you get down to undesturbed soil that has no organic material or clay, no compaction is needed. The size of the footing will be determined by load it will carry, and the soil type..

Not trying to hijack BUT could something like this be used to drive steel fence posts?
