Looks like a ruse if you ask me. I wouldn't buy it if i were you, your better off looking on craigslist you don't want to end up with a huge hunk of cast iron.
Goodluck on your anvil hunt. Dean
Hey twig, I had the same problem, but don't be discouraged by not having an "real" anvil. Just keep looking, you will find one sure enough. Try craigslist, that's where I found my 175# PW after roaming the pages for 4 months
Good luck to you
Hey Grundge, there are tons of ways to cut your rasps, it just depends on what's going to be easier for you. If you have a hot cut just heat that bad boy up and start cutting down the lenght of your rasp, or you could hacksaw it is that's an easier route? Angle grinder with a cut off wheel even!
