Baileigh PH-28A Pneumatic Power Hammer with Die Set
Are you working panels that are too large for a compact hammer to handle comfortably?
What if your shop had a pneumatic power hammer with a 28 inch throat that gave you full control over shrinking, stretching, and planishing in one machine?
Meet the Baileigh PH-28A Pneumatic Power Hammer with Die Set, an air-powered planishing hammer built for automotive, aircraft, and metal art work.
With a 28 inch throat, variable speed up to 1,000 beats per minute, and a foot pedal for hands-free control, the PH-28A handles panels from start to finish.
When both hands are free to guide the metal and the hammer responds precisely to your foot, the work moves the way you intend it to.

Baileigh PH-28A for Sheet Metal Shaping and Planishing
28 Inch Throat Handles Larger Panels
The 28 inch throat depth gives you room to work full-size automotive and aircraft panels without fighting the machine's reach. Larger panels stay under control rather than having to be repositioned around a shorter throat.
Variable Speed Foot Pedal Keeps Both Hands on the Work
The foot pedal controls impact speed from 0 to 1,000 beats per minute, leaving both hands free to guide and position the material. That level of control lets you move the panel smoothly and respond to the metal as it shapes.
Pneumatic Operation Runs Quieter Than Mechanical Hammers
The PH-28A runs on a constant 120 psi air supply and operates with less noise than a mechanical power hammer of comparable capacity. Quieter operation makes it easier to work longer sessions without fatigue.
Starter Die Set Covers Shrinking, Stretching, and Radius Work
The included die set gives you thumbnail shrinking dies, a flat top die, a linear stretch die, and three radius dies in 12, 24, and 36 inch sizes. You have the tooling to begin most panel work immediately without sourcing additional dies first.
