Safety
Bulletin
We are increasingly receiving specification documents within
international tenders which use the term "Cast Iron Anvil"
as a general description.
Vaughans'
anvils are cast in steel (not Iron) to a long tried and tested
blend. The working face is heat treated to 60-65 Rockwell
and a narrow strip around the perimeter of the working face
is left untreated to absorb the impact of any hammer blow,
which accidentally glances off a workpiece during use.
Whether
in an educational, vocational training or industrial environment
there are significant health and safety hazards in using a
cast steel anvil and we stress that safety equipment such
as glasses, gloves, leather aprons and steel toe capped boots
should be worn at all times.
