These mandrels are great for beginning ring makers trying to get started at a lower cost. The mild steel material, while not as corrosion-resistant, is soft enough that accidental contact with your turning tools will minimize any damage to the cutting edge. Each mandrel is supplied with a mandrel key—simply tighten to expand the mandrel for a secure hold on your ring. A small lip is machined on the largest step for easy positioning of the ring.
WARNING: Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/wood
