Heavy Duty Highly Polished Medium Jewellery Making Forming Sinusoidal Stake, Hardened Steel 11.5 Inches
For jewellers and silversmiths forming anticlastic shapes, this sinusoidal stake provides a solid, continuous curve for shaping sheet metal. Its highly polished surface allows precious metal to glide smoothly, minimising the need for extensive finishing work whilst forming bracelets, rings, and other curved components.
Key features
- Solid hardened steel construction for durability under repeated hammer work.
- Highly polished forming surface reduces friction and prevents marring of sheet metal.
- Sinusoidal wave tapers in amplitude from 38 mm (1-1/2") down to 22 mm (7/8").
- Square-profile tang provides a secure and stable fit in a standard bench vice or stake holder.
- Designed for use with plastic, nylon, or rawhide mallets to preserve the polished face.
