Many an anvil has been runied by folks that think an anvil face is a precision reference surface and had them machined flat. They are NOT a precision surface. They are a surface to support work to be pounded on heavily. A little sway actually helps when straightening pieces hot or cold because the sway give the piece somewhere to flex into. Machining out sway removes much of the hard steel face and results in a soft ruined anvil. Even solid steel anvils have a limited depth of hardness. Avoid old anvils with freshly machined faces.
