I have heard of these and see where one guy i sasking to buy one on the auction boards...
all I have ever seen though is like high end 600's or mebbe a 700 every now and again.

or how are these cycled into the game?

i have heard of a 1500+ power hammer on ahazi, but it was looted of a sith thug. the best ive seen crafted was 898 max speed of 5.9 who made no damn clue. i have a 717 max speed of 5.9. i paid 3 mill for this baby off a friend in my guild. one of my other friends has a hammer max 200+ with mind fire of 263. that baby hurts. he got it off the last jedi mission before you start jedi.

Ifyou get mea set of +313 Acklay bones, and if I have a bit of luck, I could craft a 740 max damage power hammer. Get a perfect damage slice, and you'll have 1000. Since your not very likely to find bones like that (I've never heard of bones that high), your best bet is to gather the cash you'll need to buy a looted one at auction on your trade forums.
As for Geo cubes in Power Hammers,the Geo Core they make will replace the Acklay bone, not add to it. Using those you won't get much past 510 using even the best cubes & agents. Geo hammers are faster and more accurate, but will never better a mid range Acklay for raw damage, let alone the bones of legends.

Also, when people say they have a "XXX damage weapon" it usually includes the damage pup.

Crafting a 1000+ hammer is impossible, I believe. I think acklay bones only go up to 300 (from what I've heard), and you would need higher than that to even put yourself in the position for a perfect damage slice to get to 1000. Loot drops would be your only way.
And geo loot is not gonna' help. Even with crazy paste and cubes, you're not going to make a reinforcement cores that high.
However, if you come over to Tempest, I heard Felton makes awesome Krayt-enhanced melee weapons, including PH's.

If you are a Weaponsmith, you'd know that you can either use acklay bones or make a geo reinforced core using cubes/agent but not both, since the acklay serves as the reinforcement core, and neither crafted nor geo cubes would ever get anywhere near high enough damage to make such a hammer, and only the highest damage bones possible even have a chance of getting close.
If you are a Weaponsmith, you'd know that how many points you have does not affect the max dmg/speed being reached on a weapon, barring a good/moderate success which can be avoided using port and cake.
If you are not a Weaponsmith, why would you bother posting about a topic with which you are not sufficiently familiar to be of any assistance?

a 1000 max damage powerhammer could and has been crafted in the past. Acklay bones are not limited to 300max. There was a legendary set of bones looted that were roughly 300min/500max which would easily get you the 1k max damage your looking at, in fact these would almost be 1k before they were ever even sliced lol. However that being said, most of the 1k + powerhammers either had exceptional bones, were sliced AND had a pup on them. There have also been several PH's that have been looted with 1k+ max damage.

On chimaera there is 1 PH with 2800+ max damage around (and HAM cost of max 20 or something 
).
).A 1k PH is more easy now, since you can use an ADK and not worry about an PuP, so you need (with the 16% max damage PuP) an 862 max damage PH to hit 1000 with the PuP on it. With a very good slice of 30%, you'd need an unsliced PH max of 663.
And for that you will need 663-469+41= 235 max damage bones.
Conclusion:
- You need a minimum of 235 max damage bones;
- You need a Damage Slice of preferably 30%+;
- You need to buy an ADK and use it on the PH;
- You need to use PuP's of 16% max damage all the time;
- You now have an 1000 max damage PH (when wielding it)

This would be more of a question for actual swordsman. Woah, that's me too! Sweet. Well, I'd have to say, in my experience, that max is more important on a PH. Min is probly gonna' be acceptable no matter what. There are some weapons where the min can bite ya' a few times, but I don't think you have to worry about that on a high damage hammer. I'd much rather have a 500 min 750 max hammer than a 600 min 600 max hammer.... (Plus it's cool to see those 2000 and 3000+damage hits contantly popping up over the mobs head, hehe....)
