Ring Shank Forming — 9 Hardwood Mandrels, Round, Oval, Square, Triangle, Diamond, Pentagon

For forming ring shanks that are anything but round: square, rectangle, triangle, oval, diamond and pentagon profiles sit alongside the standard circle in this nine-piece set. Each hardwood mandrel is tapered along its working length to cover a range of ring sizes, so contemporary geometric shanks can be trued directly on the profile they are meant to hold. Our guide to choosing a ring mandrel explains where shaped mandrels fit in.

Hardwood is the right material here — firm enough to form against, yet it will not scratch or mark soft precious metal during shaping the way a steel mandrel can. The cylindrical handles grip securely in the hand or a bench vice, whichever suits the job.

• Includes nine hardwood mandrels, each with a unique cross-sectional profile.
• Features a full range of shapes: square, rectangle, triangle, oval, round, diamond, and pentagon.
• Smooth hardwood construction prevents scratching or marking soft, precious metals during forming.
• Each mandrel is tapered along its working length to accommodate a range of ring sizes.

Who it's for
