Dapping Block — Mini Flat Steel Plate, 8 Half-Sphere Cavities, 3-1/2" × 2" × 1" (1 pc)

Form small, precise domes for jewellery with this compact steel dapping block, featuring eight graduated half-sphere cavities for progressive shaping.

What it does

This block allows you to gradually form sheet metal into perfect hemispheres using a dapping punch. The precise, polished cavities guide the metal, preventing unwanted stretching or distortion. Machined from a single block of hardened steel, it ensures excellent durability and maintains its shape through repeated use, providing consistent results for your doming tasks.

How to use it

• Select a cavity slightly smaller than your final dome.
• Position your metal sheet and strike the dapping punch.
• Gradually move to larger cavities for full shaping.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and students working with non-ferrous metals. This compact block is ideal for creating earring components, settings, or small decorative elements, offering a practical alternative to larger dapping blocks for detailed, fine-scale work.
