Bangle & Bracelet Shaping Mandrel — Oval Wood Stepped Form with Tang, Jewellery Tool
Achieve precise oval bangle and bracelet dimensions consistently with this stepped wooden shaping mandrel.
What it does
This tool provides five distinct, fixed oval diameters essential for repeatable sizing when forming bangles.

It's designed for controlled shaping, offering a reliable alternative to tapered mandrels for precise, identical pieces. The solid build quality is evident in its smooth, splinter-free surface.
How to use it
- Secure the tang firmly in a bench vice.
- Shape your metal around the desired step.
- Store in a dry place to maintain its form.
