Dapping Set — 2 Wood Punch Sizes with Steel Die for Doming & Metal Forming

Shape precise domes for earrings and pendants with this focused hardwood punch and steel die set.

What it does

This compact tool set enables the consistent forming of metal sheet into smooth hemispherical domes. The hardwood punches, designed to minimise surface marring on softer metals like sterling silver or copper, are gently struck against the metal placed within the steel die's cavity. This action pushes the metal into the die, creating repeatable domed components for your jewellery designs, ideal for earrings, pendant elements, or decorative accents.

How to use it

• Place metal sheet over the die cavity.
• Strike punch firmly and repeatedly.
• Store punches and die safely.

Who it's for

Ideal for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths focused on producing specific domed components efficiently. This set replaces the need for larger, multi-cavity dapping blocks when working with two common sizes, streamlining production for intermediate and professional makers.
