The GRS® Metal Former is an indispensable tool for professional jewelers and metalsmiths seeking accuracy and repeatability in metal shaping. Designed to form rings, bands, and bracelets with precision, it’s particularly ideal for shaping flat metal strips into perfect "C"-style bracelets—even after engraving.

This innovative tool features a die cup made of a soft alloy material, which supports the metal without damaging fine engraving work. The die cup is reheatable and reformable, allowing long-term use and precise pressure control. The unit includes two fixed die sizes and one adjustable die cup, offering a versatile setup that adapts to a variety of metal widths.

The GRS® Metal Former can form strips from 0.25" (6.35 mm) to 1.25" (31.75 mm) wide and works best with soft metals like gold, silver, and copper in thicknesses from 0.030" to 0.080" (0.76 mm to 2.03 mm). This eliminates the need for hammering or mallets, preserving the integrity of your design while saving time.

Key features include an ergonomic handle, stable steel base, and precision dies that ensure smooth forming without cracking or distortion. From ring shanks to custom bracelet designs, this tool delivers uniform results with minimal effort.

Whether you're a bench jeweler, engraver, or educator in a jewelry program, the GRS Metal Former elevates your workflow by allowing easy bending, shaping, and finishing with professional-grade control.
