Square-section rings lose their character the moment a corner rounds over. Formed on a round mandrel, square stock distorts; formed on this dedicated square mandrel, the 90-degree geometry survives hammering and truing. The taper runs from 15x15mm down to 6x6mm, covering a wide range of ring sizes in square profile. Choosing between profiles? Our guide to choosing a ring mandrel lays out the options.

It is machined from a single piece of solid steel, so it takes hammer work without complaint, and the 13-inch (approx. 330mm) length gives a generous working area for gold, silver and other non-ferrous stock. The plain cylindrical handle holds securely in a vice or in hand.

  • Tapers from 15x15mm down to 6x6mm to form a wide range of ring sizes.
  • Machined from a single piece of solid steel suitable for hammering.

  • Measures 13 inches (approx. 330mm) in total length for a generous working area.

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.
