Steel Bench Block

Description

This hardened Steel Bench Block is the perfect surface for flattening or shaping your craft wire. Use it with our chasing hammer for flattening, layout or chasing. These blocks are constructed of tool steel; ground flat, polished and case-hardened. They come ready oiled (to prevent them from rusting), so you may find it useful to keep them in a plastic bag to protect your surfaces!

The block measures 102mm x 102mm x 15mm

To care for your bench block you can oil it with any type of light duty oil, 3 in 1 oils are fine. The oil will keep the oxygen from creating rust. It is necessary to keep the rust at a minimum as the rust will make tiny dimples on the surface of the block and can have a negative impression on metal as you hammer on it. Extremely fine emery cloth will take the rust right off, if and when the rust appears. It's best to store the block after lightly oiling it and tightly wrapping cling film around it.

We also sell a Chasing Hammer, perfect to use with this!

    Where can I find the shop?

    Once you’re in Nottingham it’s quite easy to find us as we’re bright purple! Here are our top tips on getting into Nottingham City Centre or give us a call if we can help.

    Things to note when visiting Nottingham city Centre. Our shop is situated in a clear zone between 10am and 4,30pm. Only buses and trams are allowed on this street between these times. There is disability on street parking just down and around the corner from us (Angel Row) or behind the Royal Centre tram stop (Wollaton Street).

    We suggest using the Tram if you’re visiting Nottingham City Centre. This can be cheaper than Nottingham’s parking charges and if you are not used to Nottingham then you will also avoid the sometimes confusing road network in the city centre. There are several Tram park & rides which can make life much easier. They can be found approx. 1 mile from Jct.26 on the M1 or in Clifton if you use Jct.24 coming from the south and travelling on the A453. More info here.

    There are also several car parks near us including the Euro car park at the top of our road (it is quite a tight multi storey). Or on street parking the closest of which is Wollaton Street.

    Royal Centre Tram Stop: We can be found approx. 100 metres from the Royal Centre Tram Stop. Just follow the tram tracks downhill into the city centre. You will see us on the right hand side opposite the old Debenhams building.

    How long does it take for me to receive my order?

    UK orders usually arrive in the next 1-3 days depending on the postage you select. Overseas orders take 3-20 days depending on location.

    Orders placed before 1pm on a week day are sent out the same day. We offer a range of delivery options including guaranteed next day. Occasionally items do get lost in the post we can re-send or refund your order 10 working days after it was sent (20 days for international items) as this is when the Royal Mail class class it as lost and allow us to claim for the loss.

    What is your return and exchange policy?

    We want you to be happy with your purchase, if it’s not what you wanted you are welcome to return it for a refund or exchange within 30 days but please return items in the same condition you received them.

    If you return your entire order within 14 days of receiving it, we will refund the full amount debited from your card. Postage will not be refunded if only part of the order is returned or after 14 days. Please enclose either your original invoice or a copy of it.

    If you have changed your mind about colour or size or just want to exchange for something else please enclose your order number and what you would like to swap for.

    Unless the item is faulty you are responsible for the postage to return items to us and we’d always recommend getting a proof of postage.
