Reshape and restore warped bangles with this solid hardwood mandrel, designed for precise dent removal and reforming at the bench.

What it does

This tapered wooden mandrel provides a smooth, stable surface for correcting misshapen bangles. Its carefully turned hardwood profile allows you to gently tap out dents and reform circular metalwork without marring polished finishes. The integrated tang ensures a firm grip in your bench vise, offering the control needed for detailed metal manipulation and achieving a clean, round shape.

How to use it

  • Secure the tang firmly in your bench vise.
  • Position the bangle over the mandrel.
  • Gently tap out dents and reshape with appropriate hammers.

Who it's for

Essential for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths undertaking bangle repairs, this tool is also valuable for craftspeople forming new circular pieces. It’s a practical upgrade from makeshift solutions, offering a dedicated and effective way to achieve accurate reshaping for professional results.

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.
