Bangle Forming Mandrel — Pentagonal Wood, 14 Inch, Bracelet Hammering & Shaping Tool
Hammer a five-sided bangle over a round mandrel and the corners soften with every pass; the geometry you sawed and soldered slowly disappears. This mandrel has a true pentagonal cross-section, so each of the five flats sits fully supported while you work it, and the crisp angles between faces survive the forming. A specialist former for contemporary geometric bangles in silver, copper and other non-ferrous metals.
It is turned from solid wood, which gives while steel will not — the bangle takes the shape without the mandrel marking the metal. The 14-inch length leaves generous room for positioning and adjustment, and the smooth, unfinished surface is ready for the bench as supplied.
- Features a true pentagonal cross-section for accurately forming five-sided profiles.
- Crafted from solid wood to prevent marring of non-ferrous metals during forming.
- Provides five stable, flat faces to support the bangle's geometry during hammering.
- Measures 14 inches in length, offering ample space for shaping and adjustments.
- Supplied as smooth, unfinished wood, ready for immediate use at the bench.
