RedTail Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm looking in to buying a NEW anvil. Around 200lbs. I'm tired of working with garbage(which is all I can find around here used). I checked the review thread with out much success.Any info on the following anvils will be greatly appreciated.Rigid Anvils from GraingerEmerson 200lb traditional, or TFS 200lb from Centaur forgeAB Legend 200lb, or JHM Competitor 250lb from Anvil BrandAustrian style workhorse 224 or 180( don't think they have a pritchel hole) or A Bulgarian 205lb(read a "bad" review on this one) from old world anvils.I would like to keep it around 1500 or less. Looking for ring, good rebound, and durability. I am currently using a cast with steel face about 175lb unknown manufacturer. There isn't a square edge left on it anywhere. Has about the same rebound as vanilla pudding, and the face is dished really bad.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Have you applied the TPAAAT technique for finding anvils?Do a site search for the technique, results, and some interesting reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo T Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Check out Incandescent Iron Works (Rhino anvils). I haven't seen a chipped edge on one of Steves anvils. You might check out Nimba anvils. They are both cast steel anvils (USA) and I haven't got a clue about shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
