Batch bangle work needs sizes that repeat. This oval mandrel replaces the guesswork of a tapered form with four machined steps, each a true oval section, so every bangle formed on a given step matches the last — graduating from 1⅞" × 1¾" up to 2¾" × 2½".

Cast iron mass soaks up hammer forming without complaint, the machined surface helps keep softer metals unmarked, and the square tang locks into a bench vice so the tool stays put while you work around it. Overall length is 10 inches.

  • 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.

Stella A. ★★★★★

Finally, a mandrel that actually gives me repeatable oval sizes—no more guessing with a tapered form. The four machined steps lock my bangles into consistent shapes, and the cast iron feels solid enough to handle daily hammering.

George F. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this oval mandrel for a few weeks now and the machined steps are dead-on accurate—every bangle I’ve made on the same step comes out identical. The cast iron feels solid and doesn’t flex at all when I’m hammering.

Charlotte U. ★★★★★

The step sizes are dead-on and repeatable, so I can finally knock out a full batch of matching oval bangles without fiddling with a tapered mandrel. The cast iron feels solid and the 10" length gives plenty of grip for hammering. My second batch came out just as consistent as the first.
