I understand your dead against any "grinding".. here is the before after a wire wheel you can see I haven't changed anything but take down the middle just a hair to flatten it across better, remove some shallow pitting, and clean it up. And through all my research I've found don't if you don't have to but either way light flap disc won't hurt anything to smooth or clean up a face or edges. It's my first decent sized anvil I'll have it for a lifetime and I fixed it up to my preference to use from here on out.... anyway back to the original reason for the post has anyone seen anything like in the picture.. any knowledge of what it may or may not become?
