Baileigh AH-24R Pneumatic Planishing Hammer — 24" Rigid Spine
Are you spending too much time chasing smooth surfaces on sheet metal with inconsistent results?
What if your shop had a handheld planishing hammer that delivers fast, controlled strikes and leaves both hands free to guide the work?
Meet the Baileigh AH-24R Pneumatic Planishing Hammer, a foot-pedal-operated air hammer built for finishing and shaping sheet metal in fabrication, automotive, and metal art work.
With a 24 inch adjustable throat depth, seven radius dies, and a rebuildable air motor running at up to 3,200 beats per minute, the AH-24R covers a wide range of finishing profiles in one tool.
When the hammer does the striking and your hands stay on the metal, you get more control over the shape and a smoother result on every pass.
Baileigh AH-24R for Handheld Sheet Metal Finishing
Foot Pedal Operation Keeps Both Hands on the Work
The foot pedal controls the striking action so both hands stay free to position and guide the workpiece. This gives you more consistent contact between the die and the metal surface throughout the finishing pass.
24" Adjustable Throat Depth Extends Reach on Large Panels
The 24 inch adjustable throat depth lets you reach well into large sheet metal panels without repositioning the tool. This matters most when finishing wide automotive body panels or large art pieces where a short-throat tool would fall short.
Seven Radius Dies Cover a Wide Range of Profiles
The AH-24R comes with seven radius dies — flat, 2 inch, 3 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, 12 inch, 24 inch, and 36 inch — so you can move between profiles without sourcing additional tooling. Each die shape produces a different surface result, from flat smoothing to tighter curved forms.
Rebuildable Air Motor Lets You Tune Hitting Characteristics
The air motor is fully rebuildable and allows you to adjust the hitting characteristics to suit the application. Running at up to 3,200 beats per minute on 90 to 120 psi compressed air, the motor delivers consistent output across mild steel up to 16 gauge and aluminum up to 14 gauge.
