This 9-inch solid steel wax reamer accurately sizes wax ring tubes from 3mm to 17mm for lost-wax casting.

What it does

This tool precisely enlarges and smooths the bore of wax ring tubes, ensuring a perfect fit for your casting sprues. Its five ground steel flutes cut cleanly through wax, leaving a smooth finish that minimises post-casting cleanup. The continuous taper allows for gradual, controlled sizing without damaging delicate wax models. The solid steel construction provides the necessary rigidity for consistent results, preventing flexing during use.

How to use it

  • Select appropriate tube for your project.
  • Gently twist the reamer clockwise into the wax tube.
  • Clean flutes regularly for optimal performance.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery students preparing wax models for lost-wax casting. It streamlines the process of sizing ring tubes, replacing the need for multiple mandrels and junior saws for initial sizing.

Common questions at the bench

How do I use it?
Twist it gently into the bore of the wax, taking off a little at a time. Work from both ends of a ring tube, turning the wax round between cuts, so the bore stays straight rather than tapered.
How do I know when the size is right?
Check the size often as you go, for example by sliding the wax onto a ring mandrel, and slow down as you get close: wax comes away quickly and cannot be put back.
Can I use it on metal?
No. It is a wax reamer, made for sizing and carving wax, as this product's description says. Using it on metal would blunt or chip its cutting edges.
How should I look after it?
Clear the wax from its cutting edges after use, as its description advises, and store it so the edges do not knock against other tools.
