Chasing & Forming Hammer — 28 mm (1-1/8 Inch) Dome Face, Wooden Handle, for Silversmiths

A substantial 28mm dome face chasing hammer for efficiently shaping and texturing larger metal pieces on the jeweller's bench.

What it does

This hammer's generous 28mm domed face allows for broader metal movement with each deliberate strike, significantly speeding up repoussé and forming tasks. The highly polished steel face ensures a smooth transfer of force, preventing unwanted surface marks on your precious metals. Its well-balanced weight and comfortable, turned wooden handle provide the control needed for both expansive shaping and intricate chasing, reducing fatigue during extended work sessions.

How to use it

• Secure your metal piece on a suitable chasing stake or forming block.
• Use controlled, overlapping strikes to move and shape the metal.
• Wipe the face clean after use to maintain its polished finish.

Who it's for

Essential for UK silversmiths and bench jewellers tackling larger hollowware, bracelets, or pendants. This hammer excels where broad, even metal displacement is required, offering a more efficient alternative to smaller hammers for initial forming stages or when working with larger surface areas.
