Description

The jig offers the  simplest peening option.

It is relatively easy to master and produces good results in most circumstances, and excellent results with practice.

Phil started peening with a jig and we recommend most people to do the same.

This is a cost effective way to start peening. By making it affordable, we hope it will encourage more people to have a go.

We know from personal experience that learning to peen brings more joy to scything!

See our Peening Guide for more information on all aspects of peening.

FAQs

This jig is great if:

  • you are peening occasionally
  • you are peening blades mainly used for mowing rougher grass and weeds
  • you need to peen a blade that has not been peened in a long time / has never been peened.
  • you want a stepping stone to freehand peening
  • you need a budget entry point.

You might be better with the Fux Deluxe Peening Jig if:

  • you expect to do a lot of peening (multiple blades, many times a year)
  • you will be mainly mowing fine meadows and lawns
  • you expect to stick with jig peening over your scything career

NOTE: Blades need to be peened regularly for this jig to work most effectively.

There is no need to buy a specialist hammer for use with a jig. You can use a standard carpenters hammer with a minimum weight of 1lb (454g).
