In 2012, I was lucky to attend one of Warren Miller's saw sharpening class at Nine Mile Ranger Station. At the class, he used a near-cylindrical tapered setting anvil. I think he said it was a conveyor belt roller. In the 2003 revision of his 1977 Crosscut Saw Manual, he is shown using it on Page 20...

Thanks for the prompt reply, Jim. That was just what I needed.

Considering the prices for a good old saw set-swaging hammer, I am going to grind down the faces of an auto body hammer to make a saw hammer.

It would be good to hear from everyone about the best face diameter for a set-swaging hammer.

Considering the prices that saw set hammers go for, I have bought a 3-lb drilling hammer, and plan to grind it down (take away everything that doesn't look like a saw set hammer).

What is the very best set hammer style and weight any of you has tried ?

What do the Dolly-style hammer heads weigh ?

Are there any Dolly-style hammers for sale ?
