Ring Bending Tool | 8 Nylon Molds 12-22mm | 60 and 90 Degree Formers
About This Ring Bending Tool
This manual bench-mount ring bending tool shapes compatible metal strip and wire around interchangeable nylon molds. The set includes six round profiles from 12 to 22 mm and two angular formers at 60° and 90°, covering a wide range of jewelry forming tasks in one organised set.
After securing the steel mechanism to a stable bench, install the selected mold, position the prepared workpiece, and turn the handle smoothly to develop the shape in controlled stages. Nylon contact surfaces help reduce direct metal-to-metal marking. Suitable for gold, silver, copper, brass, and compatible jewelry alloys within the stated material capacity.
Mold Selection and Material Limits
| Mold | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| 12 / 14 / 16 / 18 / 20 / 22 mm | Select the round profile closest to the intended form; verify finished size with a ring gauge or measuring tool. |
| 60° former | Creates a controlled 60° angular bend in compatible strip or wire. |
| 90° former | Creates a controlled right-angle bend in compatible strip or wire. |
| Material capacity | Up to 2 mm strip thickness or 3 mm wire diameter; anneal where appropriate and account for springback. |
Best For / Not For
| Best For | Not For |
|---|---|
| Round forms from 12 to 22 mm | Round forms outside the 12-22 mm range |
| 60° and 90° jewelry components | Strip thicker than 2 mm or wire over 3 mm diameter |
| Gold, silver, copper and brass work | Hardened steel or low-ductility stock |
| Small jewelry workshops and training benches | Powered or industrial-volume forming |
| Controlled manual forming and prototyping | Projects requiring guaranteed final size without measurement |

Pro Tips
- Secure the mechanism to a solid bench before applying force — do not rely on the storage base alone to resist handle movement.
- Anneal compatible metal where appropriate, allow it to cool, and clean it before forming to reduce required force and improve results.
- Apply pressure gradually and inspect the workpiece between passes rather than forcing the full bend in one movement.
- Allow for springback and verify the finished form with a ring gauge or caliper — do not rely solely on the mold marking for final size.
- Keep mold contact surfaces clean and follow the supplied instructions for lubricating moving metal parts; keep lubricant away from grip surfaces.
FAQ
Which round sizes are included?
The set includes six round forming sizes: 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22 mm.
What are the 60° and 90° molds for?
They form compatible metal strip or wire into controlled angular profiles rather than round rings.
What material thickness can it handle?
Up to 2 mm strip thickness or 3 mm wire diameter. Metal type, temper, and cross-section affect the required force and result.
Does it need to be mounted to a bench?
Bench mounting is strongly recommended for controlled operation. Fixing screws are included for securing the tool to a suitable work surface.
Will a 20 mm mold always produce an exact 20 mm finished ring?
No. Workpiece thickness, alloy hardness, starting length, and springback can all change the final diameter — always measure after forming.
Which metals are suitable?
Gold, silver, copper, brass, and compatible jewelry alloys within the stated capacity. Do not use hardened steel or stock outside the stated limits.
