Durston 1189 Steel Bench Block 300mm x 300mm x 20mm

The Durston 1189 Steel Bench Block is a professional-grade flat plate designed for serious metalsmithing and jewelry fabrication work. Weighing close to 38 lbs (17.3 kg) and measuring 11-7/8" x 11-7/8" x 3/4" (300mm x 300mm x 20mm), this substantial block provides an exceptionally stable and true working surface. Also known as a flat plate, flat stake, or swage block, it is an essential bench tool for flattening, layout, chasing, texturing, and punch work.

Constructed from tool steel that has been ground flat, polished, and hardened, this bench block delivers the rigidity and surface consistency that professional jewelers and metalsmiths demand. Use it with a mallet or hammer to flatten metal stock, or as a hard backing plate when texturing or punching sheet metal. Because any marks on the surface will transfer directly to your workpiece, keeping the surface clean and polished is important for achieving clean, professional results.
