Dapping Block Plate, 27 Half Spheres — Large Hardened Steel, 130 × 64 × 19 mm for Jewellery
Master dome-forming with this hardened steel dapping block, essential for shaping precise half-spheres in sheet metal jewellery.
What it does
This substantial dapping block precisely shapes sheet metal into perfect half-spheres. Its 27 graduated cavities, machined from solid hardened steel, ensure dimensional stability and resist deformation under repeated hammer strikes. The meticulously polished cavity surfaces allow for smooth metal flow, creating clean dome profiles that are crucial for consistent results when working with precious and base metals alike.
How to use it
- Select the appropriate punch size.
- Place metal over the cavity and strike with a dapping punch.
- Clean block after use to maintain its finish.
