There are a small percentage of my latest shipment of 260# Classic anvils that will require some casting clean up. The vast majority of the anvils require very little work. One of the reasons the anvils I sell are such a high quality value is that I leave it to the customer to dress the anvil (radius the edges, chamfer the hardy hole if desired and do a small amount of cleanup that is associated with a casting of any kind). The 1-1-1 on the anvil is the weight of the anvil in an old system of units. You will have some clean up work to do in order to make the hardy hole one uniform size in some of the 260# anvils in my latest batch, to meet off the shelf tooling requirements.
