Mike BR Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Since there’s enough angst in the world already, perhaps we can choose to believe that the anvil was irretrievably damaged prior to the deliberate modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Brouwers Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 This poor fellow is pretty rough, but that also meant I got it for super cheap!! I also have to confess that I am considering committing another crime against it. The hardy hole is a weird size, reamed out on the top and tapering to the bottom. I want to grind out the bottom to make it more uniform and a similar size to the anvil I have already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 You might want to consider an insert that fits the existing hardy hole and is the right size for tooling you already have. On the other hand, regrinding the hardy hole would be less of a crime and more "invasive surgery with informed consent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
