I’ve owned my round ram m-head for about 3 years now, and generally it serves me well. I mostly make small parts and work with aluminum. However I am considering building my own Yoder style power hammer which would require milling several dovetails in mild steel or grey cast iron. The largest dovetail is approximately 8” long x .75” deep x 2” wide. Assuming I’m willing to stand at the machine as long as it takes, do you think I can get this done? Any red flags that I might be missing?
