Description
This large, stationary planishing hammer lets you quickly straighten and true sheet metal and other flat work. Place the piece on the table and press down on the spring-loaded head for fast, repeatable flattening. Hardened platens (≈Rockwell 60) are well-suited to non-ferrous alloys such as copper, brass, silver, and gold.
Typical bench work includes straightening and flattening sheet in copper, brass, silver and gold, planishing after raising, embossing or forming, and repairing waves and buckles before final finishing. Made in Italy.

I almost did not purchase this item due to the high price for such a simple tool. I had several uses in mind for it and took the plunge. Well, it is rather heavy. It is very well made. It looks great. But most of all, it works perfectly and has uses beyond straightening bent metals. I am a big fan of the Italian made tooling from Otto Frei. I regularly use the heavy drawplates for items that I make. For the 2' long drawings, I machined a roller set to straighten things. This planishing hammer quickly allows me to fine the needed straightness. The planishing hammer works perfectly. Another use for it is in very slightly "expanding" gears which were cut a tad undersize. This planishing hammer expands the gears and work hardens them in the process. It can also be effectively used to set rivets. I have a few additional uses in mind for the tool related to fold forming. If you can afford it, you will like it and use it.

This is a fattening champ! This was one of my favorite tools at Revere for making anything flat, even helped with edges bent or turned from cutting.
