Which planishing hammer or air hammer should I choose?

For light sheet-metal shaping and finishing, NOVA H500 Pneumatic Planishing Hammer is a compact pneumatic choice with a 500 mm throat and foot pedal control. For heavier forging and forming work, NOVA C41-25 Air Hammer is better suited to workshop use.

What air supply is needed for a pneumatic planishing hammer?

The NOVA H500 Pneumatic Planishing Hammer operates at 3.45–6.89 bar, so the compressor must provide suitable pressure and enough air volume for continuous work. If you need to upgrade the air supply, suitable options can be found under Air Compressors .

What other sheet metal machines work well with a planishing hammer?

For a broader metal forming setup, a planishing hammer is often used together with an English Wheel for smoothing curves, Bead rollers for profiles and reinforcement, or a Sheet Metal Shrinker/Stretcher for shaping edges and contours.

How quickly are planishing hammers delivered?

Shipments are sent from Finland. In-stock products are normally delivered in 2–4 business days depending on destination. Machines are generally kept in stock, while a few top-tier professional models may be sold on request, so always check the product details for live stock status.

What warranty, maintenance and service support is available?

Machine warranty is normally one year, but always check the individual product data for possible exceptions. Regular maintenance includes checking fasteners, lubrication points, air supply condition and wear parts according to the machine instructions. NOVA service supports customers through the Seinäjoki store location, and many spare parts are available directly from stock.

Are replacement peens, tools and consumables available?

Yes. C41-25 replacement dies such as Die C41-25 2121 airhammer and Die C41-25 2104 airhammer are available for compatible air hammer use. For additional metalworking tools and consumables such as flap discs, carbide files and countersinks, you can also browse NOVA Pro .

Planishing hammers for accurate metal shaping

Planishing hammers are used for smoothing, shaping and finishing sheet metal with controlled repeated blows. They are useful in fabrication, restoration, bodywork, prototyping and workshop production where consistent forming is needed without slow hand hammering.

A pneumatic planishing hammer is a practical choice for light metal and sheet-metal work. It helps refine curves, remove small marks and produce more even surfaces when used with the right hammer tools and air supply.

Choose the right machine for your work

For light sheet-metal forming, the NOVA H500 offers a 500 mm throat, 875–1350 BPM piston speed and 3.45–6.89 bar operating pressure. Its foot pedal control, adjustable anvil height and included hammer tools make it a compact option for accurate planishing work.

For heavier forming and forging tasks, the NOVA C41-25 Air Hammer is built for small and medium-sized metalworking companies. With 380 V power supply, 3000 W rated power and a 680 kg machine weight, it is suitable for knife forging, sheet-metal forming and finishing metal parts.

When selecting a machine, consider the material thickness, workpiece size, available floor space, air or electrical supply, and the type of forming you do most often. If you are unsure which model fits your use, our skilled staff can help you compare the options before ordering.

Accessories, tooling and related machines

Planishing and air hammer work often benefits from suitable bottom dies, hammer tools and supporting sheet-metal machinery. English wheels, bead rollers, shrinker/stretchers and shear-brake-roll combination machines can help build a more complete forming workflow for cutting, curving, shrinking, stretching and finishing panels.
