    You are the first folks that have mentioned the grits and flap wheel. Thank you!

    I just purchased a Centaur M2066. There are two slots in the back face between the prichel holes. I can't find another like it. Forum responses say they are for working horse shoes in some fashion but I can verify 'how'. The slots 'look' manufactured. If they were added by an owner they had some serious machining skills. The certainly were not done by a guy with a grinder. Have y'all ever seen a configuration like this? Can you point me to any doc about how/why they were used?

    Great video for me being a newer blacksmith. Just ordered a L200 JHM. Just curious. It’s supposed to be a hardened anvil but it seems to file pretty easily. Why is that? Thought a file should skate off the anvil.

      Not an expert but usually files run 60-70 hrc most anvils are only surface hardened to 40-55 depending on quality

      UK made Brooks anvils [now made by Vaughans ] are made with a working face from 63 - 68 Rockwell. The cutting plate also seems to be about the same hardness. It certainly pays to radius all edges to some degree to avoid chipping.
      They can be filed, but only with a new good quality file, and a lot of patience. I always cut on a plate, so have left the edges of the cutting table square, for the odd occasion this might be of benefit.
