I have looked through a number of the posts in this forum and see a lot of information on resurfacing anvils, but I have a few questions I would like to throw out there. I have two anvils, 160# Peter Wright and 160# Hay Budden(?). They both are in fairly good shape but they both have a number of chips and gouges in the edges of the face. I would like to fill these in and then smooth them out and give them proper radius.
I have a Miller 140 MIG welder and a 4.5" angle grinder. I see plenty of references to using stick welders and specific rod types for filling and resurfacing. My questions are:
1. Can I use my MIG welder to good effect to fill in the edges on my anvils?
2. If so, are there specific wire types I should get for my welder?
3. Should I be concerned about pre-heating the anvil?
