Twistedc Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Looking to buy a new anvil. Kinda stuck on a Holland or a Hoffman. Would there be any reason not to go with a larger anviL if you have the means to do so. I’m hung between the Holland 260lb or the 440lb. Any disadvantage of the larger anvil. I do have a forklift to move it around. Also looking at the Hoffman 325lb. Any other recomendations. Is bigger always better? Probably gonna mostly be making hammers and axes? Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW513 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 only disadvantage is price and moving it.. But if you have a spot for the 440 and you KNOW you won't be moving it at least not too often, id get the 440. Even 260s suck to move but thats doable with two people, or one person set up to move anvils. If you have the forklift and the means, buy it.

Chelonian Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 For hammer and axe making, probably either would work great. The only functional disadvantage of the 440 over the 260 that I can think of is if the larger/thicker proportions would get in the way of ornamental work.
