Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Clean after use: Remove metal marks, filings, and polishing residue to preserve smooth forming surfaces.
• Light oil coating: Apply a thin layer of anti-rust oil to prevent corrosion, especially on polished steel surfaces.
• Avoid surface damage: Do not use hardened steel tools directly on anvil faces that could cause dents or scratches.
• Use appropriate strikes: Always use polished hammers or mallets to maintain surface integrity.
• Check stability: Ensure anvils are securely mounted or placed on stable surfaces before forming operations.
• Inspect wear points: Regularly check for flattening, chipping, or deformation affecting forming accuracy.
• Store properly: Keep each piece organized, separated, and stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage.
