Questions and Answers
This bench block is made of polished, hardened steel with a hardwood backing. Ideal for flattening wire or chasing, but it also works well for hardening soft wire or metal. Simply place the wire or metal between the surfaces and whack it with a hammer. The item hardens without losing its' shape.
Size: 4"x 4"x 1"
Metal: 1/4" Thick
Wood: 3/4" Thick
Weight: 1-1/2lbs
Why do I need this item?
This product gives you the hard metal surface for shaping wire and sheet, but also provides a softer wood surface for metals such as copper. It also doubles as a "wire wacker" used to harden wire and sheet. Hammering wire or sheet against a smooth, solid, surface is necessary in order to "harden" the material so that it will retain its' finished shape.

Technical info
When selling bench blocks you should mention what measure of hardening the block . I have bought many blocks over the years and found them to be soft..should be more specific. My bench block was a propellor cylindrical bearing bought for a buck and it was hard.. that goes for your hammers as well

Q:
I was wondering, on this bench block, if the wood is supposed to be glued to the metal? When I took it out of the shrink wrap today, it was in 2 separate pieces and you can see where, I think, glue was supposed to be?

A:
yes they should be glued together. We can ship you a replacement or a tube of Gl600 Glue, whichever you prefer. Please contact our customer service at
