Sinusoidal Forming Stake, Medium — Hardened Steel, 11.5 Inches, Highly Polished, Heavy Duty

This hardened steel sinusoidal stake shapes complex curves for intricate jewellery and silversmithing projects.

What it does

This substantial forming stake creates flowing anticlastic and synclastic curves essential for bracelets, rings, and hollowware. Its precisely ground, highly polished surface minimises friction, allowing sheet metal to glide smoothly and reducing post-forming finishing. The sinusoidal wave tapers consistently, offering versatile shaping options. Constructed from solid, hardened steel, it withstands repeated hammer blows for lasting performance.

How to use it

• Secure stake firmly in a bench vice or holder.
• Gently tap sheet metal over the curve with a mallet.
• Use rawhide or plastic mallets to protect the polished surface.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths. It replaces the need for multiple smaller stakes or complex raising techniques for curved forms. Suitable for professionals and serious hobbyists seeking precise control over anticlastic and synclastic shaping in gold, silver, and base metals.
