Artist Blacksmiths sometimes require a tool that will allow metal to be formed in ways that an anvil or traditional industrial swage block will not allow. We developed swage blocks that are individual and easy to handle that can be held in a vise. No more searching for the heavy expensive swage blocks or having the manhandle one. This swage block is 6” long and 2” wide and has 5 forming radius’. The width of each radius is 3/8” – ½’ – 5/8” – ¾” and 7/8”. This is a very useful tool. The swage is made of tough 60/45/15 ductile iron. The tool has a ¾” bar on the underside to use on your post vise or modify to use on your anvil. The swage is used by blacksmiths and tinsmiths to form round stock for tenons etc. These swages have been produced for many years and have proven to be very reliable and useful. Casting weighs approx. 7 lbs. MADE IN USA!
