Dapping Block Plate, 27 Half Spheres — Large Hardened Steel, 130 × 64 × 19 mm for Jewellery

Master dome-forming with this hardened steel dapping block, essential for shaping precise half-spheres in sheet metal jewellery.

What it does

This substantial dapping block precisely shapes sheet metal into perfect half-spheres. Its 27 graduated cavities, machined from solid hardened steel, ensure dimensional stability and resist deformation under repeated hammer strikes. The meticulously polished cavity surfaces allow for smooth metal flow, creating clean dome profiles that are crucial for consistent results when working with precious and base metals alike.

How to use it

• Select the appropriate punch size.
• Place metal over the cavity and strike with a dapping punch.
• Clean block after use to maintain its finish.

Who it's for

An indispensable workhorse for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths undertaking production work. This block streamlines the process of creating consistent domes, replacing multiple smaller blocks or time-consuming hand-forming techniques. Ideal for intermediate to professional makers requiring a wide range of repeatable dome sizes.
