A compact and versatile bench block, providing a solid foundation for precision metalwork. The 76mm square surface consists of a 6.35mm thick, case-hardened steel plate, ground flat and polished for a smooth, resilient anvil surface.

This steel block is securely mounted to a 19mm thick hardwood base. The wood serves two purposes: it dampens vibration and absorbs the shock from hammer blows, reducing hand fatigue. For tasks requiring a more forgiving surface, the block can be inverted to use the hardwood side directly.

Ideal for jewellers, model makers, and repair technicians for tasks such as flattening wire, riveting components, or light forming of non-ferrous metals.

  • Overall dimensions: 76mm x 76mm (3 x 3 inches).
  • Case-hardened steel block, 6.35mm (1/4 inch) thick, ground flat and smooth.
  • Mounted on a 19mm (3/4 inch) hardwood base to absorb shock and reduce vibration.
  • Reversible design allows use of the hardwood base as a softer work surface.
  • Provides a solid, stable surface for riveting, forming, and flattening metal.

Common questions at the bench

What weight hammer should I start with?
For most bench work, 4–8 oz is the sweet spot. Lighter hammers (2–4 oz) suit fine detail and chasing punches; 6–8 oz suits forging and texture work. Avoid anything over 12 oz unless you specifically need a raising hammer.
Can I use this on annealed silver and copper?
Yes — these hammers are designed for non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine, britannia), copper, brass, bronze, and aluminium. The polished face will not transfer marks to clean annealed stock when used correctly. For mild steel work, use a separate hammer.
How should I care for it?
Wipe the face down after each session to prevent any tarnish from work residue marking your next piece. If the head develops nicks, polish them out with fine-grit emery and a buffing mop — a marked hammer face transfers marks to your work.
What is in the box?
One hammer with the head and handle fitted, ready for the bench. Polished faces are protected with a thin oil film — wipe before first use.
