Planishing Press for Flattening Bangles & Wires — Spring-Loaded Bench Metal-Working Tool

Achieve perfectly flat metal bangles and wires with this spring-loaded bench press, designed for consistent planishing without a hammer.

What it does

This bench-mounted press uses a precisely calibrated spring mechanism to deliver controlled, repeatable force. The matched pair of flat, polished steel anvils ensure uniform pressure across your workpiece. Its substantial cast-metal frame provides the necessary stability for accurate metal manipulation, allowing for consistent results on series production or detailed finishing, replacing the variable impact of a hammer.

How to use it

• Position the press securely on your workbench.
• Place your metalwork between the anvils and depress the handle.
• Wipe anvils clean after use for longevity.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalworkers focused on flatwork. It’s ideal for professionals and serious hobbyists creating bangles, sheet components, or flattening wire. This press replaces the repetitive, fatiguing action of hammering for consistent results, particularly when producing multiple identical pieces.
