Planishing hammer advice

Not sure if that will work. Dake has a smaller model. As you can see you can adjust machine to work like a shrinker or they even say wheel but it looks like pain in the ass especially for production shop.

If I was to do it over again, I might buy one of these.

Expensive but alot of different machines in one. Less shop floor space to take up and can do a lot of different jobs on one machine. But in a large shop, you would not be able to share equipment among the guys easily. One guys could not planish while another is using the pullmax.

I was actually looking at that some time ago and thought it was a great idea. The thing I do worry about in tools like this is yea, they do a lot, but usually that means they do a lot of different stuff well, but nothing specific great. Kind of universal. I'll have to give them a call and discuss this more with them. I was hoping to find someone who had one that could give some real feedback on it as the videos look impressive.
