Harbor Freight Doming Block Set Review

Here's a review in a quick demonstration of the Harbor Freight doming/dapping Block Set intended for jewelsmiths but actually has a variety of different shop uses. 93539 . .

I don't need a set like this, but now I want one...thanks.

Never heard of that tool, very educational. Keep it up!

The punches are smaller to allow for the thickness of the material being formed.

Once again a tool I had not seen before at Harbor Freight and didn't know what that would be good for in a home shop. Thanks for the video and cheers.

Never seen this tool. Wow thanks for bringing it. Happy to see your channel growing up fast

The size is smaller because, the thickness of the material you are doming will make up the difference when hammered into the shape block. Cheers

"Cupping" a plain steel flat washer will NOT make it a spring washer. You've made a BENT washer that has NO SPRING to it. It will simply flatten again once under compression. Spring washers are made from…



wait for it …



SPRING STEEL!

Catus Maximus - Great video! It seems like a drop of oil on both sides of the washer would help. I lubricate my flaring too that way. Excellent work!

Extremely grateful for the review. I need to make a flannged cut washer and this might be a good candidate for my project. Minimum manufacturing run starts at 10, 000 pieces!

In the jewelry industry it is known as a dapping block and punch

I was at a big box diy store, I saw an anti-slip plate for stair steps in winter, or even wet steps. Under $18 each for those. With this item, get sheet metal, drill some holes, punch them thru to put a small circular edge on it, like a soda/beer can top edge, with the middle cut out, flip it over, edges up, that's your traction. Make em any size the kit will handle. Make more than 3 step plates, and it paid for itself.

I have to stop watching your videos because I'm spending to much money on tools lol! nice video!

The sizing of the dome has material clearance built-into it for the hole it sets in that will give you a 14mm dome on finish product.

[PawOfRizzo]

Interesting tool. I've actually not seen this tool at HF.

[DigitalNv]

It's to make up for the thickness of material..jewelry usually has a standard thickness for each metal, eg. Gold, silver, copper...

Nice to see these for $45.99 and it is in stock at the H.F. next door to our micro machining shop here in Yucca Valley, California.
New here subscribed.

Nice share thank you for the exposure, Lance & Patrick.

Thanx for this. I just learned somethin'. Who want's to see him make an ice cube tray?

Great video thanks for the review I'm going to buy a set tommorow. Your hands look like mine. Chemicals and welding make some tuff mitts. You have earned the subscription. Cheers

Good video. I’m not a jewler but i do have a lot of hobbies and i could see the doming kit coming in handy. For many things ive probably walked past them many times in HF without giving them a second thought one of my hobbies is actually sewing mainly boat canvas and antique auto interiors the anvils might come in handy for working with metal grommets and snaps on compound radius areas that are all over a boat or a car Mainly i work on British Sportscars and older SportsFishing boats and going that extra step to customize something perfect can really make a difference So thanks for the video its always nice to learn something new that can be useful

Careful doing those two reviews from Harbor Freight the so-called YouTube experts on here don't like Harbor Freight they think that buying only name brand expensive tools is the way to go me personally I have Harbor Freight tools that are 20 years old that still perform perfectly and yes after 20 or maybe 25 years of used tools do wear out even the name brand tools wear out I even heard one idiot on YouTube say that professional mechanics don't use Harbor Freight Tools which is a bunch of garbage. Good to review man I think I might have to go look for that set
