This 15-inch large wooden bangle mandrel provides a smooth, stable surface for shaping and repairing round bracelets and bangles.

What it does

This substantial hardwood mandrel allows for precise forming of soft metals into consistent circular profiles. Its generous length facilitates a gradual taper, giving you fine control when hammering or shaping to achieve the desired diameter. The dense, turned wood construction ensures a non-marring surface, protecting your precious metals from scratches and dents during the shaping process. This makes it an essential tool for achieving professional-grade curves on bangles and bracelets.

How to use it

  • Select the appropriate diameter section for your bangle.
  • Gently hammer or shape the metal around the form.
  • Store flat to prevent warping.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths engaged in regular bangle production or repair. It's also ideal for jewellery students and serious hobbyists seeking a reliable, non-abrasive shaping solution. This mandrel replaces the need for less controlled methods, offering a dedicated tool for achieving perfect round forms.
