Jumbo 9" Solid Steel Wax Reamer — Sizing Wax Rings & Carving Ring Tubes, Tapers 3–17 mm
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.
