The Durston® Round Stepped Mandrel with Tang is a heavy-duty, solid tool steel forming stake engineered for shaping, rounding, and work-hardening thick wire hoops, continuous metal bands, and cuffs. Unlike standard tapered mandrels where a bracelet can slide or sit slightly unevenly along the incline, this mandrel features distinct, parallel cylindrical tiers.

Forged from induction-hardened steel and ground to a smooth finish, this 2kg anvil stake delivers maximum kinetic rebound when struck with a mallet, allowing you to move heavy-gauge silver, gold, copper, or brass sheet seamlessly without risking metal deformation or unwanted tapering.

Key Product Features

• Induction-Hardened Solid Tool Steel: Precision-machined from high-grade hardened steel built to withstand intensive workshop hammering without dimpling, chipping, or denting over a lifetime of active studio service.

• Four Precision-Ground Parallel Steps: Features four clean, non-tapered cylindrical tiers measuring exactly 51mm, 57mm, 64mm, and 70mm in diameter to cover a versatile range of standard wrist profiles.

• Integrated Square Tang Anchor Base: Built with a solid 60mm bottom square tang designed to drop securely into standard bench anvil holes, robust desktop stakes holders, or heavy-duty bench vises for absolute, non-slip stability.

• High-Inertia Vibration Absorber: Weighs a substantial 2kg. This concentrated structural mass naturally absorbs intense striking shock waves, significantly lowering hand strain and stopping annoying workbench bounce.
