Blacksmith Anvil Hardy Cutter Tool 3/4 inch Shaft Hot Cut Tool Blacksmith Anvil Forge Tool Shank Cutter (Black)

Works great 👍

I didn't expect much from this tool since it's so cheap but I expected more than I got. I had researched proper use of such a tool in the past so I didn't go into it blind, but the tool began to bend and break immediately. After a few more attempts of using it, entire pieces had flaked off from the tool and after inspecting it it seems to be made of cast steel.For a tool with a use of this kind, cast steel is simply unacceptable.It fit right in the hardy hole so I have that to be thankful for, but I got two uses out of it before it broke on me. I'm disappointed. But it did inspire me to make my own cutting hardy, so I suppose there's that.Avoid this tool. Buy one from a reputable blacksmith shop. The increase in price will be worth it, compared to wasting money on a cheap cast steel tool that you won't even get your money's worth from.

Made good for cutting your melt in too

Works well, fast ship, good price !

I received it fast and was not difficult to adjust to my hardy hole. However, with an eighth of an inch round bar heated up the edge was easily dented as a cut off by the bar, not even the hammer. The cutting edge needed to be round down and hardened.

Poor quality, cast pot metal it looks like. You can almost see how this is made in sand casting, probably in one of those crappy "mini mills" in South east asia, the type that you see on youtube belching smoke, where they throw a bunch of scrap in a hole with waste oil and pour it into a sand mold some guy tamped with his feet. I like to watch those videos, but I don't like to use the end product. Unless you want it to shatter in your face.

Great tool... 3/4 inch shaft I had to grind down to fit a 3/4 Hardy hole opening in my Vevor Anvil...

Rounded base for slotting, you will most likely have to grind it to fit. Also, it is NOT already hardened...at all, you will have to forge harden after you get it.
