Durston 1103 Matched 21 Piece Dapping Punch Set with Flat Die-3mm to 36mm Punches

The Durston 21 Punch Matched Dapping Punch Set offers professional jewelers and metalsmiths a comprehensive range of highly polished forming punches paired with a flat dapping block featuring matched spherical depressions. Spanning 3.0mm to 36.0mm, this set delivers the precision and durability expected from W. Durston Ltd of High Wycombe, Great Britain — crafted from properly hardened, top-quality English steel for a lifetime of professional use.

Each punch is matched to a corresponding depression in the flat dapping block, enabling accurate, consistent dome forming across a wide range of sizes. The set also includes four additional depressions on the block that are intentionally larger than their corresponding punches, providing the necessary clearance to accommodate the thickness of metal being formed. A unique storage tray keeps all components organized and protected.

This set is equivalent to the Durston 125.008 Large matched dapping punch and die set, but without the three largest dies — making it an ideal mid-range option for studios that work primarily within the 3.0mm–36.0mm size range.

Notes

• This set is equivalent to the Durston 125.008 Large matched dapping punch and die set, minus the three largest dies.
