((((Be careful)))) when making this: the ingredient's are flammable. Another, mixture is one part beeswax, one part turpentine and 1/2 part linseed oil. Heat beeswax slowly and add oil until you get a consistence you like. To preserve the bare metal you can try beeswax mixed with canola oil to make a paste. I use an old car wash brush and then dry it with a shop towel. That helps remove the loose rust that sticks to the metal. After I clean with a wire wheel I use something like Spray Nine or Purple Power to wash the metal. Something else I wanted to mention to help clean off the rust that has worked well for me. It's normally a softer metal to do those task. It's used for cutting metal and testing chisels and such. The small square area after the horn is the anvil's chipping table. I guess it depends on what you plan to do with your anvil. Keep in mind that 1/8" off the horn equals a 1/4" in overall width when you add both side to the equation. I would probably dress the rough pitting as well. I can see the pitting better with the last pictures you posted. I hope to repair a 1860 Fisher (over 150 years old) this spring.
250 LB ANVIL FOR SALE CRACK
Maybe a hairline crack or air bubbles during the casting process. Can the round plate be removed? I would love to find a nice anvil like your 400 lbs. A dull thud or low bounce could indicate damage. Some anvils are cast wrought iron, some forged or cast steel. When you say it's lively that's a good sign. Hitting cold metal can also damage your anvil.įisher anvils are the quiet anvil. Tool steel was used on the work face and top of the horn. You should work with hot metal when hitting or shaping metal. If your using the anvil most small pits will work out over time. If grinding is a must try a belt sander and go easy. I would wait to see how bad the pits are after you remove the rust. Google that and you can find many who use it electrolysis to remove rust. Loosing the temper and you increase the possibility of cracking or breaking off chunks of your anvil. First you can create hot spots and that can ruin the temper.

In my opinion Trenton anvils are as good as any anvil ever made including Hay Budden. using the Highest Grade Solid Wrought that was available, and the face plate was made from the very best crucible high grade tool steel. Anvil has a good ring, and an incredible rebound 90% or 95% Anvil has a very cool hand chiseled look, with a nice up swept horn that comes to a point (never blunted) Trenton anvils were made by the Columbus Forge and Iron Co.
