Stepped Mandrels

Stepped Mandrels represent the evolution of our proven mandrel design, refined through two decades of professional use. Each mandrel features a stepped diameter construction—a precision-welded short mandrel section joined to a larger working diameter—that delivers superior grip and reduced flex during lampworking operations. Available in 9" and 12" lengths with your choice of 3/32" or 1/8" diameter handles, these all-stainless steel tools combine durability with ergonomic control. The stepped geometry increases contact area where you hold the mandrel, minimizing hand fatigue and improving bead consistency across production runs. Purpose-built for glass bead artists and production studios seeking reliable, long-lasting mandrel performance.
