Doming & Dapping Block, Steel 3 × 3 Inch — 4.25–54 mm Cavities for Metal Shaping

This hardened steel dapping block precisely shapes hemispherical domes in non-ferrous metals for intricate jewellery designs.

What it does

Utilising a series of accurately machined hemispherical cavities, this block allows you to form smooth, consistent domes by striking softened metal sheet with a dapping punch. The solid, 3x3 inch cube design offers exceptional stability on your workbench, preventing unwanted movement during use. Its hardened steel construction ensures the cavities maintain their precise shape and integrity, even with repeated, forceful strikes, guaranteeing repeatable results for your metal shaping projects.

How to use it

• Select a cavity slightly larger than your desired dome size.
• Place softened metal into the cavity and strike with a dapping punch.
• Clean block after use to prevent residue buildup.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths requiring precise doming for components, bezels, or decorative elements. This block replaces the need for multiple individual dapping punches and blocks, streamlining your workflow and offering a comprehensive solution for both apprentice and seasoned professionals working with silver, copper, or brass.
