Product review
This square forming block includes multiple shaping faces to handle a variety of metalworking tasks. The block features 17 round domes ranging from 4 mm up to 18 mm, and 17 half-round grooves spanning 4 mm to 21 mm. There are three V-shaped slots measuring approximately 2.5 to 4.5 mm and five oval depressions from about 12 × 18 mm to 15 × 23 mm.
Manufactured from hardened steel with a mirror-polished finish, the block is designed to give smooth, clean contact with metal and reduce surface marks during forming. Overall dimensions are 8 inches by 1.5 inches square (approximately 204 × 38.5 mm), making it a compact bench anvil for jewelry work.
Use it for doming, creating U-shaped curves, forming channels, and general bending and finishing of metals such as copper, silver and gold. The variety of cavities supports both delicate beads and larger domes, so it suits intricate jewelry pieces as well as small metalwork components. The maker also offers a 30-day satisfaction option and a 12-month warranty for peace of mind.
Pros
- Wide range of cavity sizes
- Hardened, mirror-polished steel
- Compact bench-friendly dimensions
Cons
- Heavier weight may tire handheld work
- No carrying case included
- Limited to softer metals
VerdictA sturdy, workshop-ready forming block that offers a wide range of cavity sizes for doming, channeling and bending sheet metal. The hardened, polished steel surface minimizes marking while the compact 8" × 1.5" footprint fits most benches. Well suited to both hobbyists and pros who need reliable, repeatable forming options across many jewelry projects.
