Xwingace Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi all, I'm new here, and to smithing as well, although I've been tinkering with fire and steel for years. I acquired an anvil off craigslist, and other than a little surface rust it is unused (It's a 150 lb Emerson). The edges of the face are nice sharp 90 degree angles, and it's my understanding that I should round them over with a grinder before using it. Is the angle grinder the best tool for this, and if so do I want to use your standard resin disk, or something less agressive? I sure don't want to spoil it! Thanks all, and love these forums. There is an embarrasment of knowledge and artistry here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xwingace Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks Ten! I'll have a look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluidsteel Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yup. LOTS of threads on this. That being said. The general consensus I'd say, is to use it for awhile to decide what you want in an anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
