Bead Mandrels

Stainless Steel Bead Mandrels

These stainless steel mandrels are designed for beadmaking and other flameworking applications. Available in a variety of diameters and lengths, they provide options for projects of all sizes.

Available Sizes and Packaging:

• 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" diameters: Sold by the dozen (12 pieces).
• 5/32" and 3/16" diameters: Sold by the half dozen (6 pieces).
• 1/4" diameter: Sold in packs of 3.

The most popular diameter is 3/32", followed by 1/16" and 1/8".

Available Lengths:

Choose from 9" or 12" lengths, with 12" being the most popular option. Longer mandrels are particularly useful when working with larger glass pieces and larger torch flames, providing additional distance from the heat. They also make it easier to position finished pieces in an annealer.

• 1/16" – 2 mandrels
• 3/32" – 2 mandrels
