Unlike a square edge that is more likely to break and chip away, the face of this RIDGID Peddinghaus anvil has rounded edges to ensure durability strike after strike. This helps to keep the face from deforming under repeated use. The top face is ground, and induction hardened as well as tempered to resist the blows of the user's hammer. With a 12" face length and an 8-1/2" horn and a wide base for added stability, this anvil is the perfect size for larger products.

Unlike Casting (the process of melting ore and pouring it into a pre-built mold), forged products yield a higher tensile strength (strength with less weight), have a higher fatigue strength (longer life), and also have a more durable yield strength (takes longer to deform). This process has been around for ages and has been time-tested to be extremely durable. What is dropped forged? Drop forging is a process that uses heat and intense pressure to press metal into a specific shape. This drop-forged anvil is produced entirely from high-grade steel for maximum durability and is not "Bottom Cast" but fully forged and hand welded.

Peddinghaus anvils like this are known industry-wide for both craftsmanship and quality. Save on the Ridgid Model 12 Peddinghaus Forged Anvil here at PlumbersStock.
