I wonder how they get around the pre heat/post heat. Putting all that 
heat
  into an anvil has to put a lot of stress in the anvil. Does the rod 
mfger agree
  to buy you a new anvil if it cracks or are they limited to only the 
price of the
  rod.

Not saying you didn't do it Dan and that it worked fine for you. Just 
wondering
how the rod itself is able to keep the anvil from reacting to the heat 
and cracking.

Maybe the steels that are used for rock crushing equipment is not as 
prone to
  cracking as an anvil made of two separate kinds of material...face and 
body as a
  Trenton.

Personally I would be inclined to preheat and postheat.

But that's just me.
