Well, I have placed a order for the Ridgid anvil, cost just over the 1K including freight, it looks nice the reason I looked at the others is the sides were not dressed but when would I use this and having a machine shop could easily make it square, it will be in december 15th, will keep you posted, yesterday got a chunk of steel plate, 3 feet by 2 feet 4 inch thick, milled the top and bottom and drilled a couple of 1 inch holes on the sides, this allows me to put a dowel into it to lift the beast, now at least I have a beating plate thanks for the replies

Hi Phil, sorry for my laxck of understanding but how do you tell the difference, there is a ridgid anvil I believe 140 lbs also, as for ebay, the ones I have seen the price is not bad but shipping is putting them over the top and I can get a new one for the same money Laurence

Thanks for the reply, I will be doing what I would call general work, a bit of scroll, straightening of parts, would like to try knife making and maybe tools such as punches or chisels, I build live steam engines so will be making a support for riveting, shaping end plates and bodywork, I do not have a forge so for now I would use a electric furnace which I have.

Hi, been looking for a used anvil for a wile and no luck, so new have a choice 112lb NC or a 125lb Cliff Carroll, they also sell a stand with vice but the vice is nothing like a pole vice, ant recomendations either way, where does one look for this type of item, located in the praries, Saskatchewan Canada thanks
