This flat dapping block provides a stable surface for forming domes and other curved shapes in sheet metal. Machined from a solid piece of hardened tool steel, its 125 x 65 x 25 mm dimensions and 900 g weight ensure it stays put on your bench during use.
The block features 14 precisely machined half-sphere depressions, ranging in diameter from 3.2 mm up to 26.5 mm. This wide assortment allows for graduated shaping, letting you work a piece through successively larger depressions to achieve a smooth, even dome. The block's surface is ground flat for general forming and flattening tasks.
