The workhorse former for oval bangles: a tapered profile means one tool spans the standard adult sizes, so forming, truing and repair all happen against the correct curve. Slide the bangle to the point on the taper that matches its size and work it round from there.

Solid wood is what earns it the bench space — silver, copper and brass can be hammered against it without the work picking up marks, even when polished. The smooth-sanded surface lets metal move freely as it is shaped, and 14 inches of length gives room to work along the taper as the bangle comes true.

  • Tapered oval profile designed for forming standard adult-sized bangles.
  • Solid wood construction prevents marring or scratching of polished metal surfaces.
  • Smooth-sanded surface allows precious and non-ferrous metals to be worked without damage.
  • Measures 14 inches in total length, providing ample working space along the taper.
  • Ideal for shaping bangles from silver, copper, brass, and other soft metals.

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.
