15 Inch Oval Steel Mandrel for Bracelet and Bangle Jewellery Making, Cast Iron, 38-76mm
For UK silversmiths and jewellers forming full-size oval bangles, this 15-inch cast iron mandrel provides an extended, gradually tapered surface. It covers the complete 38–76mm adult size range, allowing for finer adjustments and more working room during shaping compared to standard mandrels.
Key features
- Solid cast iron construction provides a durable, unyielding surface for hammer forming.
- Extended 15-inch length offers a more gradual taper for finer sizing adjustments.
- Tapers from 38mm to 76mm to accommodate a full range of adult bangle sizes.

- Stocked in our UK warehouse for same-day dispatch to your workshop.
