Achieve precise internal diameters on wax models with this solid steel carving reamer, essential for accurate ring sizing before casting.

What it does

This reamer tapers smoothly, allowing you to enlarge wax tube interiors from 13.5mm to 20.3mm with controlled material removal. Its six precisely ground cutting edges ensure a clean, even finish, reducing the need for extensive post-carving cleanup. The robust, solid steel construction and ergonomically textured grip provide confidence and stability during use, making it a reliable tool for consistent results on the bench.

How to use it

  • Select the appropriate starting diameter.
  • Gently rotate the reamer within the wax model.
  • Clean the cutting edges after each use.

Who it's for

A must-have for UK silversmiths, jewellers, and serious hobbyists engaged in lost-wax casting. This tool streamlines the process of preparing wax models, replacing less precise methods and ensuring your cast pieces achieve the intended finger size without guesswork, making it ideal for intermediate to professional benchworkers.

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.
