Greebe Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I just acquired an old Fisher anvil and I was looking for a cutoff hardy and a fuller that will fit in its 3/4" hardy hole. Any ideas where I could find 3/4" hadries? I thought about getting hardies for 7/8 and just taking the extra 1/8 of to make it fit. I suppose I could make them. Could I make them with O-1? I have a quantity of 1" on hand. Thanks Greebe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Believe it or not, the 1" hardies I make have a 3/4" shank hidden very cleverly inside them. O-1 would work fine. Edited July 21, 2009 by nakedanvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratel10mm Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Being a tool steel, 01 will be fine as Grant says. Far better than the mild I used for a hot cut once! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greebe Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 OK, I will try the O-1. I have machined it in a metal lathe but haven't tried forging it yet. How well does it forge and are there any considerations to take into account when doing so? Forge at yellow to white range?
