Description
Closeout item. Inspected and working, but this is a used, open box product. Expect blemishes, signs of use, and worn or missing packaging. Sold as is. You have 30 days from purchase to return it. You pay return shipping, and your refund will not include the original shipping, duties, fees, or taxes.
Closeout policy
Wind a wire coil and saw it into jump rings of one consistent diameter, in matched production runs rather than one ring at a time.
The Pepetools Jump Ring Maker 2 is an improved model made in the USA, with a coil holder that carries a thicker top plate and easier-to-use thumbscrews. The winding attachment mounts on the included stand or fastens directly to your bench, so it can sit where the rest of your workflow already is.
The system uses a No. 30 type Jacobs chuck handpiece and a flex shaft motor to drive the circular sawblade through a lubricated wire coil, producing uniform rings across a wide range of metric diameters. A flex shaft motor and No. 30 type Jacobs chuck handpiece are required and sold separately.
Features
- Improved coil holder with a thicker top plate and easier thumbscrew operation
- Winding attachment mounts on the stand or directly to your bench
- 20 metric mandrels spanning 2.5–12.0 mm in 0.5 mm increments
- Mandrels are 100 mm (4") long for efficient coil winding
- Coil wire holder includes a cutting slot and a coil stopping rod for precise, repeatable cuts
- Included sawblade cuts up to 18 gauge (1.0 mm) wire in soft metals such as copper, gold and sterling silver
- Compact metal storage platform keeps the components organized
- Detailed instructions included
Compatibility
- Requires a flex shaft motor and a No. 30 type Jacobs chuck handpiece, both sold separately. The manufacturer recommends a genuine Foredom H.30 handpiece.
- An optional larger 38 mm (1-1/2") sawblade that cuts up to 16 gauge (1.2 mm) wire is available separately as Part No. 143.103.
Notes
What you get:
- 20 metric jump ring mandrels, 2.5–12.0 mm diameters. The 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 mm mandrels do not have holes, per current Pepetools production.
- Handpiece holder for a No. 30 handpiece
- Coil wire holder with cutting slot and coil stopping rod
- One 31.75 mm (1-1/4") circular sawblade, cutting up to 18 gauge / 1.0 mm wire in soft metals
- Mounting arbor for the sawblade
- Metal storage platform
- Compact plastic stand, 9" L x 4-1/2" W
- Detailed instructions
- The 18 gauge / 1.0 mm cutting capacity applies to soft metals only, meaning copper, gold and sterling silver. Harder metals, including steel, nickel silver, bronze and argentium silver, have smaller diameter limits and increase blade wear.
- Always wear safety glasses and apply lubricant generously when cutting coils.

Wish I hadn't bought this item. I was hoping for a complete kit and to be usable without having to get your own mounting screws which need to be counter sunk. I wanted to be able to use it without having to mount it to a piece of wood or to a table top. Mandrels are sad. Hard to read what the sizes are for each one. The writing is barely visible. One is missing altogether. Holding tray is cheaply made plastic. For me it was not worth the price I had to pay for it. Says it's made in the USA but I don't believe it. Probably made in China. Expected better quality.
Sorry you are not satisfied with the quality. Please return it for a complete refund. The Pepetools jump ring maker is indeed made in the USA. There are India and Chinese made copies out there, but this isn't one of them. This is the only jump ring maker currently made in the USA. Perhaps you would like to try one of the Durston Jump Ring Makers, we have 2 different versions in stock. The Durston jump ring makers are made in the UK.

Thank you for the fast shipping. Can’t wait to use my jump ring maker.

This is an extremely useful and well made group of tools. Beyond the obvious use of making jump rings I have used the mandrels in hand forming small ring shanks, truing up curved areas on random pieces, and as a support holder for small round'ish pieces when sanding. The winder is also great at winding sterling silver square wire, making braids, and as a third hand that has helped me do a number of tasks.

I have the original and I love it. I hated cutting jump rings with a jewelers saw and was thrilled when I discovered Pepe Jump Ring Maker. When I could finally buy one I was amazed at how quickly I could make jump rings and they were all consistent. Not only that, but I didn't have to look for fallen jump rings like you do when cutting them with a jewelers saw. I can't say enough about how wonderful this tool is. I highly recommend it.
