What is a Chasing Hammer used for?
A chasing hammer is used by a jeweller for planishing and chasing which means either smoothing out or adding texture to metal. Each hammer is fitted with two heads, one that is smooth and can be used for the planishing and the second which is a textured side that is used for the chasing.
The hammer can be used to strike metal placed on a anvil or steel block with medium force, depending on the side of the hammer used, this will then create rivets and textures within the metal or smooth out your piece.
Chasing hammers are a great addition to any jewellers tool box and can help you to shape and form your metal with ease. Shop the full range of Fretz chasing hammers online today.
