Hammering & Forming Base — Rubber Bench Block, 10.2 × 10.2 × 2.5 cm (4 × 4 × 1 in), Dapping

Some jobs want a surface with give: forming work you do not want marked, supporting a piece while you shape it, or quietening the ring of hammer blows in a shared space. This dense rubber block absorbs the shock a steel block would bounce straight back, protecting both the workpiece and your ears.

The 10.2 cm (4") square face gives a generous, consistent working area, and the full 2.5 cm (1") thickness keeps it planted on the bench without creeping. The flat top will not scratch polished metal, and there is nothing on it to maintain — wipe it clean and it is ready for the next session.

• Dense rubber construction absorbs impact and reduces noise during hammering.
• Flat, non-marring top surface protects workpieces from scratches and damage.
• Provides a stable, non-slip base for detailed forming and shaping tasks.
• Square 10.2 cm (4") profile offers a generous and consistent working area.
• Solid 2.5 cm (1") thickness ensures durability and effective shock absorption.

Who it's for

A workshop staple for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths who require a forgiving surface for shaping metal. Also suitable for hobbyists and craftspeople working with wire, sheet metal, or leather.
