The chunk on the left is one solid lump.


I sat it over the jaws of the vice. And layed into it with the mash hammer.
I put a collar in the bottom to use as a drift, 1" dia with a hole bored throught it, wall thickness of 8mm or so. Its looking pretty mangled now.
The washer is showing a bit of damage too.

It was in there pretty tight.


The machine is/was only 5HP.
