My great great grandfather's anvil.

I did some metal working years ago. Decided to fix some broken/bent gardening tools and such myself rather than buy all new ones. My father was passing through a couple months afterwards and said he had something he thinks I could use that has been sitting in the back of his garage since his dad died 35ish years ago, the family anvil. Turns out great great grandad was the town blacksmith and ferrier/horse shoer. It's still very much alive and I will be mounting it to a new base.

Should I Remove These Scratches on Cast Iron Table Saw?

Hello I have an old Sears Craftsman table saw with a cast iron top that I recently started restoring. After a quick sanding, I noticed circular scratches. I believe they were made during the original process to flatten the cast iron top. Should I sand them away or leave them
