Category: Jewellery Making Tools

This 9-inch solid steel wax reamer accurately sizes wax ring tubes from 3mm to 17mm for lost-wax casting.

What it does

This tool precisely enlarges and smooths the bore of wax ring tubes, ensuring a perfect fit for your casting sprues. Its five ground steel flutes cut cleanly through wax, leaving a smooth finish that minimises post-casting cleanup. The continuous taper allows for gradual, controlled sizing without damaging delicate wax models. The solid steel construction provides the necessary rigidity for consistent results, preventing flexing during use.

How to use it

  • Select appropriate tube for your project.
  • Gently twist the reamer clockwise into the wax tube.
  • Clean flutes regularly for optimal performance.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and jewellery students preparing wax models for lost-wax casting. It streamlines the process of sizing ring tubes, replacing the need for multiple mandrels and junior saws for initial sizing.

Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ellie ★★★★★

The 9-inch length gives me plenty of control when sizing rings, and the steel feels substantial without being too heavy. It glides through a 4mm tube cleanly in just a couple passes.

Carter ★★★★★

The full 9-inch length gives me solid leverage, and the steel just glides through a 6mm wax tube without any grabbing. Sizing from 3 to 17mm covers everything I cast, so I’ve stopped reaching for my old set.

Claire B. ★★★★★

Finally, a reamer that doesn't wobble in the wax. The solid steel shaft makes sizing ring tubes from 3mm to 17mm feel smooth and precise, and the 9-inch length gives great control for deep bores.
