Tuomas, you inspired me to make my own RR track anvil. I don't need one, and I'll probably never actually use it, but the notion of making it look like an anvil struck my fancy.

NICE JOB, I HAVE FIVE TEN FOOT RAILROAD TRACKS THAT I BOUGHT 15 YEARS AGO. AS IT TURN OUT THE HAVE THE "CARNEGIE STEEL CO" LOGO FORGED INTO THEM AND I FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE QUITE VALUABLE. SO I HAD TO RESORT TO EBAY TO BUY FOR COMMON RAILS AS THESE ARE WORTH UP TO $1000.00 A FOOT.
ONLY DUE TO THE HISTORICAL VALUE THAT CARNEGIE MADE THEM IN THE 1800'S.
CRAZY HUH?

Yep. Grinder does to work, one just holds it on the desired places. That really was a great grinder.. small an light weighted, still with 850w motor.
Took four 2mm cut off wheels. One 8mm grinding wheel. ( only partly ) Little from 40 & 80 grit flap wheels and 80 and 120 grit fiber discs.
For the stand one and a half 1mm cut off wheel.
Something like that..
Grinding wheels and fiber discs we're 3M Cubitron 2 products, those work specially well with hard materials.
