For silversmiths forming round bangles, this wooden mandrel provides defined steps for consistent, repeatable sizing. Its tang allows for secure bench mounting, giving you greater control whilst shaping silver, copper, and other non-ferrous metals without marking the workpiece. All our tools are UK-stocked.
Key features
- Turned from solid hardwood to prevent marring or scratching soft precious metals.
- The stepped profile provides four distinct diameters for forming bangles to set sizes.
- A squared tang at one end allows for secure mounting in a standard bench vice.
- Smooth, finished surface allows bangles to be easily worked and removed.
Who it's for
An essential forming tool for UK silversmiths, bench jewellers, and jewellery students working with non-ferrous metals. It is particularly suited to workshops producing bangles and bracelets in consistent, repeatable sizes.

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.
