For jewellers and metalsmiths forming domed components, this heavy-duty brass dapping block provides a stable base for shaping. Its weight and material are ideal for creating consistent hemispheres in non-ferrous metals whilst protecting your punches and bench.

Key features

  • Solid brass block absorbs impact, protecting steel dapping punches from damage.
  • Substantial 2-inch (approx. 50mm) cubic form provides a stable, non-slip base for striking.
  • Features multiple, highly-polished hemispherical cavities for doming a range of disc sizes.
  • Machined on all six faces to maximise the range of available forming options.
  • Includes smaller cylindrical holes on each face, suitable for riveting or texturing work.

Who it's for

A workshop essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths creating hollow forms, beads, or domed elements for pendants and earrings. Also suitable for model makers and craftspeople shaping soft, non-ferrous metals.
