Hmm..

Has anyone suggested a couple generic pullies and a VFD?

Now that is a damn fine idea! I've already got a 1 HP inverter rated
motor that I'm not using at the moment. (I was going to make a buffer out
of it, but I can use the motor I'm pulling off of the mill for that.) I'd
have to get 2 more pulleys, but all told, it'll still probably be cheaper
and a lot more flexible setup.

Thank you!

And since I haven't mentioned it, glad to see you pulled through this time
too.

Let me know if you need any close up pictures of the power hammer. I got
a new camera as part of getting employee of the month where I work, and
I'm having fun with it.

Best wishes.
