Quality, welding and other anvil miscellaneaĢ006 - 2012 Jock Dempsey, Copyright © 1998, 2023 anvilfire. Granville Island, Vancouver, BC, British Columbia, Canada - Giants Public.The set of weights would never have more than a total of 27 in pounds, only 3 quarter hundred weights and as many hundred weights as needed.Ī pounds weight set without duplicates or extras would be composed of: The system seems unweildly but if you use a balance scale and the proper weights you just count the large weights, and total up the small ones and you are done. This calculator does not have a place for tonnes. 2240 pounds (20 CWT) and over is a "long tonne".The last (right hand) position is pounds and must be equal to 27 or less.If it looks like a five then it is a two or a three. The middle position equals quarters (1/4) of a hundred weight.Any position can be zero, and IF zero is marked with a zero character (0).Not sure how to fix them also.Where the base unit is a hundredweight (CWT or 112 pounds) which is divided into quarter hundredweights, stones and pounds.Ĭommonly used to mark anvil weights before the adoption of the metric system in Great Britain.Įnter digits from your anvil or other object I would assume that they would have been consistent in their process with placement of the mark. Based on the rough calculator of L H - 110 M, that puts it around about 195ish give or take. Not sure on the weight but I am guessing around 200ish The dimensions are 27.75' x 11' x 4.75' ish.

On a side note, one thing I noticed with my anvil vs others I have seen is the embossed triangle with the c is cast with horn to the right. The Columbian is significantly different from the Vulcan (cast steel vs iron). Would a forged base feel or work steel better/different than the Columbian? Anyone have experience with both? Just wondering. I have only worked on my Vulcan and Columbian now so really don't have a comparison to say a Peter Wright/Hay Budden/Trenton etc. What would one benefit from a forged iron vs cast (steel) base if rebound and "work" where equal? Does the forged base reflect more energy than the cast steel? I know iron is more ductile than steel so those would absorb the energy more. So I would think the "work" done by the anvil would be about the same. I was wondering if there is a dramatic difference really between a wroght iron forged base and a cast steel base? The mass (in comparable weights) would be the same and the faces are roughly the same hardness. The better the bounce, the less effort required to hammer and the more efficient the anvil. You’re looking for it to bounce back at least 75 of the distance you dropped it. This is about return - how much energy is bounced back out of the anvil. Will try to get a better shot of the badge in the daylight tomorrow. Drop a 15-20mm ball bearing onto the work surface from about 20cm and see how high it bounces back.

Didn't get any off, so $2.50 a lb. weight, a head provided with a truncated cone - shaped combustion. Might be some cool history there I might try to dig up. Looks like it is a gun manufacturer amongst other things. She has an interesting badge riveted under the triangled c that, I believe, reads HSB & Co and REV-O-NOC. Looks like a cast "C" or "G" on the opposite side. Was hoping for closer to 200lbs but. the ol' girl looks almost new. 450.2 A superb 278-lb, 29 long Fisher Eagle on Heavy Duty Professional Stand. Minor roughness to the face plate that can be easily machined. My one inch ball almost smacked me in the face on the return bounce.
