Pro Tips
- Anneal the ring before expanding or reducing to reduce the risk of cracking, especially for work-hardened metals.
- Expand or reduce gradually in small increments — avoid forcing the ring to the target size in a single pass.
- Mount the machine securely to your workbench using the 4 pre-drilled holes for stable, controlled operation.
- Inspect stone-set rings carefully before resizing — if in doubt, remove stones before expanding or reducing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this US 1-33 and the US 4-14 model?
This model covers a wider US size range (1–33 vs 4–14), uses a 6-segment mandrel for finer size increments, and has a larger reduction capacity up to 24mm. Choose this model if you need to work with a wider range of ring sizes or larger rings.
Can I use this on stone-set rings?
Use caution. Expanding or reducing rings with set stones risks damaging the settings. Remove stones before resizing where possible.
What ring sizes can this machine expand to?
US sizes 1–33 using the 6-segment spline mandrel.
What sizes can the reducer handle?
The 8 reduction dies cover 15 / 16 / 17 / 19 / 20 / 21 / 23 / 24mm ring diameters — the largest reduction range in the Tooltos lineup.
Can this machine work on titanium or steel rings?
No. This machine is designed for non-ferrous metals only. Titanium and steel rings require specialist equipment.
Does it need to be bolted to a bench?
Strongly recommended. The machine has 4 pre-drilled mounting holes for secure workbench installation.
