SOLID STEEL PLANISHING BENCH BLOCK 50 X 50 X 20MM

This Solid Steel Bench Block from Pepe Tools is a precision-engineered support surface designed for a wide range of jewellery-making and metalworking applications, including hammering, planishing, flattening, and chasing.

Manufactured from high-quality tool steel, the block undergoes a controlled grinding process to achieve flatness and dimensional accuracy, followed by fine polishing to produce a smooth, uniform working face. It is then hardened to increase surface durability and resistance to deformation under repeated impact, ensuring consistent performance over time.

The dense steel construction provides excellent mass and stability, allowing for efficient energy transfer during hammering operations while minimising surface rebound. This makes it particularly suitable for tasks requiring controlled force and precision, such as forming sheet metal, refining textures, or straightening components.

To maintain optimal performance, the working surface should be kept clean, dry, and free from scratches or contaminants. Any imperfections on the face of the block may imprint onto softer metals during use, affecting the final finish of the workpiece.

With a working area of 50mm x 50mm and a thickness of 20mm, this compact bench block is ideal for detailed work and smaller components, while still providing sufficient mass for effective shock absorption and stability on the workbench.
