JT Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 any thoughts on this Fisher Anvil ?? is it delaminating ?? or just casting marks ?? thanks, JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Looks like it was beat hard enough to break out the cast iron underneath the faceplate. 275# is a good size though. My main anvil is a 260# Fisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Geist Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm sure Josh will be along soon enough but if it were delaminating I believe it would be a first. Fishers just don't do that to best of my knowledge. Hard to tell from photo but I tend to doubt it. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thief_Of_Navarre Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Tempted to think so but as George said it might be a first. It would have to be power hammered to take that sort of abuse IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanvilman Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 This anvil has been on EBXX for several months. To me, it looks like a nice garden decoration. Yes, those look like cracks under the faceplate, and also about an inch down on that jagged line. That missing iron under the faceplate is troubling. A good hammer blow could bend/crack/displace a piece of the plate. I think this anvil has had problems for a long time; it probably should never have been sold.

1forgeur Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 What's goin on with it there on the bottom of the hardy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Do you mean the hardy hole? It doesn't have a hardy in it at this moment. To me it looks like a failed casting and as Josh mentions it should have never made it out the door. I suspect foul play as it was never sent in under the warranty either. What's the date on it?

1forgeur Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yes. Hardy Hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
