An anvil and bench peg (also known as bench pin) is an essential tool for any jewellery workshop.

It screws neatly onto the edge of your work bench or table and provides a flat, steel surface for hammering on and a wooden peg for supporting pieces when sawing, drilling, cutting, filing, sanding, stone setting and much more.

It is often useful to cut a V or a U shape out of the wooden peg to support metal sheet when drilling or sawing with a piercing saw and you can also cut grooves and indentations to help support work or drill holes for working on pieces with earring posts.
