Ring Polishing & Grinding Holder — 7 Inch Tapered Wood Mandrel Stick

A wooden mandrel earns its place beside the steel one: for truing, polishing and final adjustment, hardwood supports the ring without pressing marks into the inner shank. Slide the work along the taper until it seats, then polish, grind or gently reshape with the metal fully supported. Our note on choosing a ring mandrel covers when wood beats steel.

The taper is sanded smooth and left unmarked — no engraved size graduations to emboss themselves into soft gold or silver under pressure. At 7 inches long there is working room for the full run of common sizes, and the rounded handle end sits comfortably in the palm. Wipe it free of polishing compound now and then to keep the surface true.

• Crafted from hardwood, which is softer than precious metals to prevent scratching finished work.
• Smooth, tapered design securely holds rings for forming, polishing, and grinding.
• Unmarked surface is ideal for forming and shaping, avoiding impressed marks on the inner shank.
• Measures 7 inches in length, offering ample working area for various tasks.
• Comfortable, rounded handle end provides a secure grip whilst working.
