So, I drove down to Columbus to pick up this anvil:

It's a 125 lb Trenton. The face if nice and flat, so I'm happy.

On my way home I was thinking about trying to use my extra 2HP 3ph motor for a disc sander and tying it into my VFD.... then I realized I was just about to pass Beaumont Metalworks, so I stopped by. (very nice people at Beaumont). I picked up my 9" disc plate. They have two different kinds, the flat one and one that is a bevel slightly. I'm curious to know what most of you use and why? I went with the flat.

While I was there, I saw the parts room and the pieces for their new disc grinder adjustable work rest! It's very cool! Too bad I didn't have any extra money, or I would have added one!
 
Cool anvil, don't know anything about it, but I wish I had a real one! On the disc grinder, I use a flat disc but wish I had a 1* beveled one for knives bigger than 4.5 inches. The flat one is making slipjoint work nice though. So in short, I would use both if I had both.
