Spring Loaded Planishing Press, Bench Tool for Flattening Metals Bangles Wires, Metal Working Press
Achieve perfectly flat metal bangles and wires with this spring-loaded bench press, designed for consistent planishing without a hammer.
What it does
This bench-mounted press uses a precisely calibrated spring mechanism to deliver controlled, repeatable force. The matched pair of flat, polished steel anvils ensure uniform pressure across your workpiece. Its substantial cast-metal frame provides the necessary stability for accurate metal manipulation, allowing for consistent results on series production or detailed finishing, replacing the variable impact of a hammer.
How to use it
- Position the press securely on your workbench.
- Place your metalwork between the anvils and depress the handle.
- Wipe anvils clean after use for longevity.
