Sizing and truing rings is daily work at the bench, and this mandrel covers both. UK sizes 1 to 15 are engraved in half-size increments for reading a shank at a glance — worth pairing with our guide to measuring ring size when a customer only knows 'about a medium'. The continuous groove along the taper seats the ring and stops it slipping while you work.

Solid aluminium keeps the weight down compared with steel — something your forearm notices by the end of a resizing session — and the smooth cylindrical handle holds well in hand or vice. The squared-off tip stops the mandrel rolling off the bench. A sound first mandrel for a student, and a light second one for the established bench.

  • Clearly engraved UK ring sizes from 1 to 15 with half-size increments.
  • A continuous groove along the tapered body secures the ring during forming.
  • Solid aluminium construction is lightweight for comfortable, extended use.
  • Smooth, cylindrical handle provides a secure grip in the hand or vice.
  • Squared-off tip helps prevent the tool from rolling on the bench.

Who it's for

Common questions at the bench

UK or US sizing?
Our steel ring mandrels carry both UK alphabetical and US numerical scales unless the product specifically notes UK-only or US-only in the description. Hardwood and aluminium mandrels are unmarked — use a separate ring sizer to measure.
Can I hammer directly against the mandrel?
Steel mandrels yes — that is what they are designed for. Hardwood mandrels are for forming and finishing only; hammering against them dents the wood and marks the workpiece. Aluminium mandrels: light planishing only, no forging.
What is a stepped mandrel for?
Stepped (tiered) mandrels let you work batches of rings or bangles in fixed standard sizes — useful for production work where you are making matched pairs or a series. Tapered mandrels suit one-off resizing where you need every size in between.
How do I store it without rust?
Wipe with a light camellia or 3-in-1 oil after wet work or polishing, then store in a dry drawer or wall rack. A small silica gel pack in the drawer is cheap insurance against humidity in unheated workshops.
