Planishing hammers

A planishing hammer is a machine used to smooth sheet metal after shaping and to refine its form. This category contains the Cowley pneumatic planishing hammer with a throat depth of 500 mm.

According to the product description, this machine is very well suited to shaping, rounding, stretching and smoothing metal sheets quickly and easily. The frame can be filled with sand to dampen noise and vibration.

The planishing hammer is popular with coachbuilders, classic car restorers and hobbyists who make their own panels. Combine it with an English wheel or a stretcher and shrinker from Metalworking for a complete panel-beating setup.
