Machinist's Hammer

Much under-rated as a workshop setting device. This classic 14oz (400g) mallet boasts one bronze and one aluminium pole that cannot mar a finished job. The Ø1" head is perfectly balanced about the 10" tapered shaft.

One tap is enough to bring work down squarely in the vice or to move a loosely clamped job just a "gnat's cock" at a time on the lathe, drill or milling machine.

The tapered shaft is turned between off-set centres and the whole project takes little more than an afternoon to complete. The kit includes drawings, notes and all necessary materials. The perfect accompaniment to our Centring Microscope?
