mandrels
Turning tool cores
A mandrel is a spindle or shaft around which material is shaped, wound, or held during machining.
In metalworking, a mandrel supports hollow workpieces on a lathe.
In jewelry making, rings are sized on mandrels.
The word extends to any cylindrical core used as a form: She wound the wire around a mandrel to make uniform coils.
