This heavy-duty rubber bench block provides a stable, shock-absorbing surface for all your metal stamping and forming tasks.

What it does

The dense, solid rubber construction effectively deadens hammer blows, preventing rebound and tool migration during detailed work. This ensures your punches strike true and your metal stays precisely where you place it. Its substantial 1-inch thickness absorbs impact, protecting both your benchtop and your delicate workpieces from damage. The consistently flat top and bottom surfaces guarantee unwavering stability, allowing for precise control over every strike.

How to use it

  • Place the block on a stable workbench surface.
  • Position your workpiece and strike with your hammer and punch.
  • Wipe clean after use to maintain its surface integrity.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths needing a reliable surface for stamping, dapping, and forming. It's also ideal for leatherworkers and serious hobbyists requiring a durable, impact-absorbing platform. This block replaces less stable surfaces, offering superior control for intricate metal manipulation.

Common questions at the bench

What is it for?
It gives a surface with some give: it absorbs the blow, deadens noise and vibration, and protects the bench and the work. Check this product's description for the jobs it is made for; it can also sit under a steel bench block to quieten it.
Will it mark my work?
Grit, filings or metal chips pressed into the surface can mark finished work, so wipe or brush it clean before you rest work on it.
How should I look after it?
Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and let it dry. Keep it away from heat, strong sunlight, oils and solvents, which can harden, crack or swell rubber.
