Dapping & Doming Block — 1 x Heavy Duty Brass, 2.0 Inch Metal Shaping Tool for Beading

Shape perfect hemispheres and domed elements with this substantial 2-inch brass dapping block, a foundational tool for precise metal forming.

What it does

This solid brass block provides a dense, stable platform that absorbs the shock of your forming punches, protecting both the punch tips and your workbench. Its precisely machined hemispherical cavities, polished to a smooth finish, allow for controlled shaping of sheet metal discs into consistent domes. The generous 2-inch size ensures stability during forceful strikes, preventing unwanted movement and promoting accurate results with every tap.

How to use it

• Select a cavity matching your desired dome size.
• Place your metal disc centrally within the chosen cavity.
• Strike the metal with a dapping punch to form the dome.

Who it's for

An indispensable piece for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths creating beads, pendants, or earrings. It’s ideal for professionals and serious hobbyists needing a reliable tool for forming hollow components, replacing the need for multiple smaller dapping blocks.
