30 ml Round‑Forming Die Set – 48 mm Ø

Forge hemispherical blanks, scoops, and shallow bowls. This precision‑matched die pair lets blacksmiths shape heated steel or cold‑work softer alloys into smooth, uniform curves—ideal for functional art, culinary tools, and custom hardware.

Details

The Bottom Die – A solid convex hemisphere milled to a 48 mm diameter, delivering a 30 ml cavity. Its smooth curvature distributes pressure evenly across the workpiece.

The Top Die – A matching concave counterpart that nests precisely over the bottom die. When the fly press closes, the two surfaces meet at a single point, forcing the metal into a hemispherical profile.

Key Benefits

• Versatile Material Compatibility – Hot‑forge carbon steel, stainless, and tool steels, as well as cold‑form aluminum, brass, and copper.
• Consistent Thickness – Produces scoops and shallow bowls from a 50 mm (2 in) blank with a wall thickness of about 1 mm (0.04 in), ensuring lightweight yet sturdy parts.
• Rapid Production – One press cycle yields a finished shape, cutting down on hand‑finishing time. (Results may vary)
• Finish – CNC‑machined and sanded smooth post heat treat. Hardened and tempered to ~ 45-50 HRC

Suggested Uses

• Hand‑crafted kitchen utensils (spoons, ladles, etc.)
• Small decorative bowls or candle holders
• Prototype components for custom hardware
• Educational demonstrations of metal flow and deformation
