Fretz, MA-3 Large Mushroom Anvil -Medium Dome

The MA-Series are round mushroom stakes of about 70 mm diameter in 420 hardened stainless steel. The tapered tangs fit in the Fretz H-101 Bench Holder or Fretz VH-101 Vise Holder. The design of each of the four stakes makes them very useful for forming or forging non- ferrous metal projects or jewelry. They are rugged tools that can be used with either light or very heavy hammers.

MA-3 is a more domed round stake than MA-2. This stake can be used to form shapes when more of a domed surface is required. The MA-3 Mushroom Stake can be used as a mallet to dome metal. Lay sheet metal on a sand bag and strike it with the domed surface, while holding the tang, and the metal will become cupped in a few blows. The metal can then be forged or textured with various hammers by replacing it in it holder.
