THE "JAY BEE" NOTCHED HAMMER

3/8" THICK 7 5/8" LENGTH 3 7/16" WIDTH 2.1 LBS WEIGHT

The JAY BEE notched hammer is unique in the industry because of the extra steps taken in the manufacturing process.  These steps make it the most balanced hammer on the market today and identifies it as the ORIGINAL AND GENUINE JAY BEE hammer.
    Only high quality cold formed steel is selected in the first step of our process.  A smoother finish is provided to the ultimate product.  The hammers are formed through a series of dies so that each hammer is identical to the next.  THE IMPORTANT STEPS ARE:

1. The first die, a blanking die, punches undersized holes and cuts out the notches.  MOST MANUFACTURERS PUNCH STANDARD-SIZED HOLES ON THIS STEP AND FOREGO ANY FURTHER PROCESSING.

2. The JAY BEE hammer, after step #1, is "broached".  The broaching process accurately enlarges the undersized holes that were punched by the blanking process for a fit to the various sized hammer rods manufactured by JAY BEE.

3. Finally, the most important step occurs when the hammer is processed through a "shave die."  This die positions the hammer using both holes and "shaves" the perimeter of the entire hammer.  This ensures uniformity so that each hammer is the same and has the identical "swing" characteristics.

4. The finished hammers are then heat treated to a hardness of 58-60 on the Rockwell "C" scale.

5. Each hammer is weighed and bundled in sets to insure proper balance.  This means less vibration, longer bearing life and maximum performance of your mill.

        THESE "EXTRA" STEPS ENSURE THE FINEST AND MOST ACCURATE NOTCHED HAMMER ON THE       MARKET TODAY.
        JAY BEE manufactures the three most popular notched sizes, 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" thick hammers.  JAY BEE will, at your request, furnish these hammers with welded hardening on the leading tips.
