Grooving Hammer with 90 Degree Head, Silversmith Repousse Jewellers Tool, Wooden Handle
Achieve crisp, defined V-grooves and channels for precise fold lines and decorative metalwork with this bench jeweller's grooving hammer.
What it does
This specialised hammer is engineered for creating sharp, right-angle channels in sheet metal. Its precisely ground 90-degree grooving face guides the metal to form clean, consistent V-shaped indentations, ideal for forming precise fold lines or adding decorative detail. The secondary, parallel pein offers versatility for general shaping tasks, making it a dual-purpose tool for many bench operations, crafted from hardened steel for durability.
How to use it
- Position metal accurately under the grooving face.
- Strike firmly with a controlled hammer blow.
- Use the parallel pein for general shaping.
Who it's for
A must-have for professional silversmiths and bench jewellers, this hammer excels in tasks like box making and repoussé. It offers a more controlled alternative to repeated scoring with a chisel, ensuring consistent groove depth and profile for intricate non-ferrous metalwork.
