For bench jewellers and silversmiths forming oval bangles to repeatable sizes. This stepped cast iron mandrel provides four distinct oval profiles, removing the guesswork of a tapered tool and ensuring consistent geometry during hammer forming. It's the ideal forming tool for batch production work.

Key features

Four graduated steps provide distinct, repeatable sizes for bangle forming.
True oval cross-section maintains correct bangle geometry on every step.
Heavy-duty cast iron construction withstands repeated hammer forming.
Square tang ensures a secure, non-slip grip when held in a bench vice.
Smooth, machined working surface helps prevent marring of softer metals.

Who it's for

A core forming tool for UK silversmiths, bench jewellers, and jewellery makers working with silver, copper, and other non-ferrous metals. It is also suitable for apprentices and students learning fundamental shaping techniques.
