Oval Forming Mandrel

Introducing a unique oval mandrel crafted from a specialized drop forge process, this tool boasts a super fine mirror finish for flawless work. The mandrel is expertly hardened to a range of 48-52HRC, ensuring resilience and long-lasting performance. The sleek black mandrel is treated with an advanced Diamond Like Composition (DLC) coating, achieving a stunning, wear-resistant black finish. With a nano-hardness of 2300HV and a low friction coefficient of 0.1, it promises unparalleled quality. Alternatively, choose the radiant gold TiN variant, coated with Titanium Nitrite for an extra hard, golden surface that translates its superior finish to your workpiece, ensuring it is smooth, flat, and perfect. The mandrel measures a total of 330mm (13 inches) in length, including a 100mm (4 inches) handle measuring 20mm diameter for a comfortable grip.
