But you dont want it too hard as it becomes brittle.....plus I was told you need "the bounce" but Im not 100% certain what that meansThere are two for sale locally, 300€ and 400€ respectively
Cheaper one comes with a vice
Not that I am looking right now, too much other stuff going on, but I would like one someday. I understand if they are worn you can build them up with hardfacing stick electrodes and grind back down. I have a friend who has repaired several like this. Good for fixing edges that have gotten too rounded over.
So very true, I think the formula is 2 x what you can normally lift if you're borrowing something.should have pinched it and then u would be able to

It is, but Im not sure what rod is best....the trial I mentioned earlier (50 anvils) was done to try to find out the best method....I think we chose 5 different ways but for the life of me I cant remember which way was the best suited......I recall the build up before hardfacing was best using something about 350 Hv hardness as it "gives" but not too much......and I think going straight in with a CrC deposit was too hard and had a tendency to spall (this stuff check cracks anyway)......but as I say I cant remember (it was 12 years ago) the details.I don't believe these rods I am talking about produce a brittle weld, they are meant to be used on buckets on excavators so if they were brittle I don't think it would work very well. My friend does smithing and he says this is a common method for repairing anvils so I am inclined to think it's an acceptable method.
Not necessarily so,after 30 years of it and sciatica,I had an operation 2.5 years back,big success,only 1 bout of pain ,this January and that was caused by abuse,of course I still get back ache and that’s acceptable and not disabling.im all ready there or have been its an operation but sod that . il put up with the pain as long as I can
it is when they don't know whether its from my neck or lower back and operating could make it worse as they cant tell which
