anybody on the hamb use one of these air fender planishing tools. i just found a real nice one with 2 frames14in+22in and a complete set of dies 5 they are still in the original box some were never used. just asking for info to keep it or not. thanks mike
Yes, the shop I worked at had one, very nice. They made MANY frame sizes, some huge. If you dont want it I do!
Hey, Of all the hand held planishing hammers, the Watervleit is the top, kinda like the '32 Ford of hammers! If you do sell it, I wouldn't, with original dies etc., it should bring good money! If you use it on metal, be sure to use a light coat of oil on the panel to help the die glide over the surface. Get some good ear protection! Swankey Devils C.C.

Hahaha, thanks T. I made a frame for it ( out of the headache rack off an old Forklift ) And a footcontroll out of a aftermarket throttle pedal and a gutted diegrinder housing...
I used a stepdie in my Pullmax to get the outline of the beads ( before I was told that you cant do freehand shapes with a Pullmax... ) And then I smoothed it out with the planishing hammer. The dies I have for it range from flat to a pretty agressive dome...
yes just like the catalog page . i do have both frames like metalshapes has but not all the dies only the 5 that came with it. thanks guys mike
That is the 2 frames I have also, Have two phammers, would trade one for a phammer that I don't have, dies are easy to make, Milwaukee/snapon/body master will work also. The high BPM (beats per minute) make them unique. Seems to me I have some other pics. Here is an "old timer" using one. tt
ken sure you can buy it. i did not find it at a garage sale or super cheap. just want you to know mike
