Mr. Livernoche, you show a Peter Wright anvil #127, I know nothing about them but you
mention it as: "The ring is clear and it has a perfect rebound." what do these terms
mean?
Thank you,
Alex
Sorry Charlie,
The translation for the tuning of a japanese plane is not yet done. In
fact, I wrote this article because there is a lot of information avaliable
in English on that topic but there is no equivalent in French as far as I
know.
I will shrink some files as you suggest.
Thanks,
Claude

This can be true. OTOH, some excellent anvils don't have a strong ring
(still, they don't sound cracked).

That's the key. The rebound is far more important than the ring. A large
ball bearing (~3/4") dropped onto the face of a good anvil will rebound
at least 75% of the way back to it's release point.

Which is why they are so often correctly called ASO's -- "anvil-shaped
objects," and not "anvils." (G)
NB, though, that cast _steel_ anvils can be quite usable.
Cheers!

Thanks Jim.

Alex,
Blacksmiths say that the sound made by an anvil can tell us if the anvil may
be cracked.
The rebound tells a lot about the steel quality. A good rebound also
minimise fatigue and maximise the hammer's work. A cast-iron anvil generally
has a poor rebound compared to a steel one.
I'm not an expert in metal working. Maybe someone else could elaborate on
that.
