Forming Stake No 1 — 9 Inch Double-Ended Hardened Steel, Synclastic & Anticlastic, Polished

If a workshop owns only one forming stake, it tends to be a No. 1. This 9-inch, double-ended pattern covers both synclastic and anticlastic curves in sheet, which makes it the sensible starting point for raising and holloware — and the reference the rest of a stake set builds around.

Hardened steel, polished to a mirror finish so the surface never prints marks into your metal, with a central hexagonal block that mounts securely in a vice or stake holder and stays put under the hammer.

• Made from hardened steel and polished to a mirror finish to prevent marking your work.
• Double-ended design provides both synclastic and anticlastic profiles on a single tool.
• Central hexagonal block ensures secure mounting in a vice or stake holder.
• Features the versatile No. 1 profile, the most essential starting point for a forming stake set.
• All stock is held in the UK, ready for same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm.
