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.
An essential tool for professional bench jewellers, silversmiths, and repair workshops across the UK. Also well-suited for apprentices and students in silversmithing or jewellery design programmes who require reliable, non-damaging forming tools.

★★★★☆
Nice wooden ring mandrel although shame it doesn't have the English markings but easy to tell from the existing one. Replaces a steel one I have which is very heavy and not marked
