Anticlastic Forming Stake — Sinusoidal, Small 9 Inch, Highly Polished Chrome Finish

Form flowing curves and anticlastic shapes with this robust, highly polished sinusoidal jewellery making stake. This essential bench tool aids in shaping bracelets, collars, and intricate metal forms.

What it does

This forming stake enables the creation of smooth, continuous curves and complex anticlastic surfaces in sheet metal. Its precisely machined sinusoidal profile guides the metal, minimising distortion. The exceptionally smooth, chrome-plated surface reduces friction and prevents marring on softer precious metals, ensuring a clean finish straight from the forming process. The solid steel construction offers a stable, unyielding platform for controlled shaping.

How to use it

• Secure the tang firmly in a vice or stake holder.
• Hammer sheet metal over the curve, moving it gradually.
• Polish the formed metal to reveal a flawless finish.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths tackling custom bracelets, collars, and small hollowware. It’s also useful for armourers and artisans working with non-ferrous sheet metal, offering a dedicated solution for complex curves that would be difficult to achieve with standard forming stakes.
