That looks like an Armitage mousehole which is wrought iron with a thin piece of steel welded to the top. If you grind too much or put it on the milling machine you may grind away all the tool steel and have a very soft working surface. Pretty much making it useless.
Good job on the cleanup!
Good to have you back ..
Good to be back :)
I’m so jealous .
I’m still using a piece of railroad track 😕.
But glad to see your back 🤗😎
Hey man, just found your channel. So glad I did. Good stuff. Nice anvil! AND God Bless Texas
You're one happy camper :)
Indeed!
I was given my first. 150# Acme by Trenton

Hello. What type of electrode did you use to repair the edges?
I didn't do the edge repairs. I'm definitely not good enough of a welder to pull that off! Lol
