Hammer Eye Punch – Essential Tool for Blacksmithing and Metalworking
Discover the ultimate foundation tool for crafting various implements with the Hammer Eye Punch. This high-quality tool is designed for blacksmiths and metalworkers, making it indispensable for creating flatters, fullers, top hot cuts, hammers, and set hammers.
Crafted for Excellence
Our Hammer Eye Punch is forged from durable 4140 steel, renowned for its toughness and longevity. Each punch begins as a billet of raw steel, meticulously processed through punching and drifting before being forged into shape. This rigorous preparation ensures a reliable tool that stands up to the demands of heavy use.
Versatile Applications
The Hammer Eye Punch is essential for any tool that requires a handle, providing versatility in its application. Whether you’re forging new tools or maintaining existing ones, this punch helps you achieve precise results every time.
Maintenance Made Easy
Keeping your Hammer Eye Punch in peak condition is simple. If the struck end mushrooms over time, simply remove the handle, dress the edge with a grinder or file, and reattach it for continued use. If the handle loosens, a few firm hits against the anvil will tighten it back in place.
Optimized Punching Technique
For optimal performance, keep the tool cool while punching through hot steel, and dip it in beeswax after each hit to maintain temperature. Use melted beeswax and graphite powder as a lubricant for enhanced punching quality.
Sharpening for Precision
Maintain sharp facets for effective use by removing the handle and dressing the edges with a sharpening stone or sandpaper. A belt grinder can also be utilized for efficient edge maintenance.
Premium Handle Material
Our Hammer Eye Punch features a handle made from sturdy white oak, treated with several coats of linseed oil for durability and comfort.
Elevate your blacksmithing and metalworking projects with the Hammer Eye Punch—the essential tool for precision and craftsmanship.
