Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Get the bore right before you shape the shank: that is the discipline this reamer enforces. Worked gradually into a wax ring tube, its tapered, straight-fluted shaft opens the inside diameter cleanly to the size you need between 8mm and 15mm — so the cast ring comes out to size rather than to guesswork. If you need the target figure first, see how to measure ring size at home.

It is machined from solid steel, so the flutes cut wax cleanly and stay true through years of use, and the knurled handle gives a controlled, non-slip grip as you turn. A small tool that spares expensive rework downstream of casting.

  • Covers a diameter range of 8mm to 15mm for common ring sizes.
  • Machined from solid steel for durability and clean cutting in wax.
  • Features straight fluted cutting edges along the length of the tapered shaft.
  • The knurled handle provides a secure, non-slip grip during use.
  • Tapered design allows for gradual enlargement of the wax tube bore.

Who it's for

An essential bench tool for UK jewellers, from apprentices to master goldsmiths, who carve rings from wax tubes. It is also a core piece of kit for jewellery design students and workshops specialising in the lost-wax casting process.

Aurora ★★★★★

The tapered flutes cut clean wax curls without grabbing or chattering, which makes sizing the bore feel more controlled. I like that it works from 8mm up to 15mm so you can fine-tune the inner diameter gradually. Definitely speeds up my rough-out stage.

Owen N. ★★★★☆

The tapered flutes cut through the wax cleanly without grabbing, which makes sizing the bore much more controlled. I just wish it came with a small handle or cap for better grip during use.

Christopher ★★★★☆

I’ve been using this reamer to prep wax ring tubes for casting, and the tapered shaft really does open the bore cleanly without snagging. The solid steel feels sturdy enough for repeated use, though I do wish it came with a slightly more detailed guide for beginners.
