AJAX
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AJAX from 3G Electric.
What shank size do AJAX chisels and riveting heads use?
AJAX chisels and riveting heads are designed with a 0.401-inch round shank. This shank size is a standard for many pneumatic air hammers, allowing the tools to be used with a variety of hammer models. The round shank shape ensures a secure fit in the hammer's retainer. When selecting a tool, confirm that your air hammer accepts a 0.401-inch shank. The part numbers for these tools include 907, 910-11, 910-1-1/2, 912, and 1620, each with the same shank specification.
What is the difference between AJAX flat chisels and riveting heads?
AJAX flat chisels are used for cutting, chipping, and shaping materials such as metal, concrete, and masonry. They have a flat, wedge-shaped tip. Riveting heads, such as the AJAX 1620, are used for driving and setting rivets. They have a rounded tip designed to conform to the rivet head. Both types share the same 0.401-inch round shank and are intended for use with pneumatic air hammers. The choice depends on the task: material removal versus rivet installation.
What sizes of AJAX flat chisels are available?
AJAX flat chisels are available in several sizes. The range includes tip widths of 5/8 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1-1/2 inches, with overall lengths from 5-3/8 inches to 11 inches. Specific models include the 907 (3/4-inch tip, 5-3/8-inch length), 912 (5/8-inch tip, 5-3/4-inch length), 910-11 (3/4-inch tip, 11-inch length), and 910-1-1/2 (1-1/2-inch tip, 6-1/2-inch length). These variations allow users to select a chisel based on the required reach and cutting width for the application.
Can AJAX chisels be used on concrete and masonry?
Yes, AJAX flat chisels are suitable for cutting and chipping concrete and masonry, as well as metal. The tools are designed for use with pneumatic air hammers, which provide the impact force needed for these materials. The chisel tip geometry and material construction are intended to withstand the demands of demolition and construction tasks. For concrete and masonry, a wider tip such as the 1-1/2-inch on the 910-1-1/2 may be used for broader chipping, while narrower tips are better for precision work.
How do I identify the correct AJAX part number for my application?
To identify the correct AJAX part number, determine the required shank size (all current AJAX tools use 0.401 inch), the desired tip width or shape, and the overall length needed for access to the work area. For flat chisels, part numbers correspond to specific dimensions: 907 (3/4-inch tip, 5-3/8-inch length), 912 (5/8-inch tip, 5-3/4-inch length), 910-11 (3/4-inch tip, 11-inch length), and 910-1-1/2 (1-1/2-inch tip, 6-1/2-inch length). The riveting head is part number 1620 (5/8-inch tip, 3-1/2-inch length).
