The main function and characteristics of planishing hammer: 1. **Smoothing Surface**: The primary function of a planishing hammer is to smooth out the surface of the metal, removing small dents, imperfections, and hammer marks that may have been left during the initial shaping process. 2. **Refining Shape**: It helps to refine the shape of the metal, ensuring that it is as close to the desired form as possible. 3. **Work Hardening**: By repeatedly striking the metal, the planishing hammer also work-hardens the surface, making it more durable and resistant to deformation. 4. **Different Shapes and Sizes**: Planishing hammers come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different types of work. The heads of these hammers can be flat, slightly rounded, or have other shapes to suit specific tasks. 5. **Usage with a Planishing Stake or Anvil**: Often, planishing is done with the metal supported on a planishing stake or anvil. The metal is placed on the stake, and the hammer is used to strike the metal, refining and smoothing its surface. Planishing is commonly used in metalworking disciplines such as jewelry making, car body restoration, and sculpture to achieve a smooth, even finish on metal surfaces.
