Swage Block & 16 Punch Set — Stainless Steel Dapping, Forming & Shaping for Jewellery

Master precise metal forming with this professional swage block and punch set, ideal for shaping bezels, wire, and sheet stock.

What it does

This robust steel block offers a versatile array of precisely machined hemispherical and angled depressions. When struck with the corresponding hardened steel punches, it allows for controlled dapping, doming, and channel creation. The dense, 2.5-inch six-sided block provides a stable foundation, absorbing impact efficiently to deliver clean, repeatable shapes in softer metals like silver, gold, and copper.

How to use it

• Place metal sheet or wire into a chosen block depression.
• Select the correct punch and strike firmly with a hammer.
• Store punches in their labelled slots for easy selection.

Who it's for

This set is essential for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and dedicated craftspeople. It replaces the need for multiple specialised forming tools, streamlining workflows for intricate bezel settings, precise wire shaping, and creating consistent domed elements. Suitable for intermediate to professional levels.

What's in the box

One 2.5-inch steel swage block and sixteen steel punches (10 cylindrical, 5 square, 1 triangular) housed in a wooden base.
