Eid/Longhi No-Slip Anticlastic Forming Stakes

An anticlastic forming stake is the form you hammer sheet against at the bench, and it only earns its keep if it holds still while you work. Eid/Longhi No-Slip Anticlastic Forming Stakes are precision-crafted from tough Acetal Resin (Delrin), a material known for excellent tensile strength, stiffness, and good impact resistance, which makes it a sound choice for anticlastic forming work. The Eid/Longhi design answers a common frustration in the studio: stakes that tip in the vise during hammering. Steel cross pins and washers fix the stake firmly in your vise and keep it stable and secure throughout your work.

The mounting system is straightforward and practical. If a bolt interferes with a particular forming movement, you can remove that bolt and still maintain solid stability from the remaining hardware. Replacement bolts, washers, and wing nuts are inexpensive and easy to source, keeping long-term costs low. The stakes are reversible, giving you a wide selection of profiles from a single stake per size. Each stake ships with a set of instructions and basic tips on anticlastic forming technique. Made in California, USA.
