Length Of Stamping Tools Discussion

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone knows why the standard length of stamping tools seems to be 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 inches? What would be the downside of tools with say 5 to 6 inch stems?

Only reason I can think of for not having them any longer than 4 1/2" , Cumbersome to hold and strike.

Remember physics s at work here the longer the handle the more amplified any indirect hit will be at the tool end.

I hadnt thought about that ....

I had planned to start making some tools with my uncles assistance and his CAM machine ... having problems converting images to correctly in 3D for his machine to use, so it may just be a moot point ...
