This flat dapping block provides a stable surface for forming domes and other curved shapes in sheet metal. Machined from a solid piece of hardened tool steel, its 125 x 65 x 25 mm dimensions and 900 g weight ensure it stays put on your bench during use.

The block features 14 precisely machined half-sphere depressions, ranging in diameter from 3.2 mm up to 26.5 mm. This wide assortment allows for graduated shaping, letting you work a piece through successively larger depressions to achieve a smooth, even dome. The block's surface is ground flat for general forming and flattening tasks.

Use this block with a corresponding dapping punch set for tasks such as:

  • Forming small domes for earrings and pendants
  • Creating curved components for models
  • Shaping soft metal blanks for jewellery making
  • Block dimensions: 125 mm x 65 mm x 25 mm (approx. 5" x 2.5" x 1").
  • Machined from hardened tool steel with a ground flat surface.
  • Features 14 half-sphere depressions ranging from 3.2 mm to 26.5 mm.
  • Rated to approximately 25 HRC for forming soft, non-ferrous metals.
  • Stable 900 g block provides a solid base for bench work.
