{"product_id":"fretz-tfs-tube-flaring-set-3-5-7mm","title":"Fretz TFS Tube Flaring Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fretz TFS Tube Flaring Set is a purpose-built tool system for creating flared bead spacers from seamless tubing. Designed for precision metalwork, this set allows jewelers and metalsmiths to consistently flare annealed tubing across a range of inside diameters from 3.5mm to 7mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system works by placing an annealed, cut piece of seamless tubing between the two halves of a split mandrel sized to match the tubing's inside diameter. The loaded mandrel is then seated upright in the flaring base, and the tubing is flared by striking it with a stamping hammer. The base keeps the mandrel stable and properly oriented throughout the process, ensuring accurate, repeatable results. For added visual interest, flared spacers can be further textured with hammers to create a variety of surface finishes. Many variations are achievable by adjusting the length, width, and gauge of the tubing used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best results, always select the largest split mandrel that fits the chosen tubing diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates flared bead spacers from seamless tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree split mandrels cover inside diameters from 3.5mm to 7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlaring base holds mandrel upright for accurate, consistent flaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with annealed seamless tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubing can be additionally textured with hammers for decorative variation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood tool holder included for organized storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTubing ID Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5mm – 7mm (inside diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVietnam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePieces Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 (3 mandrels, 1 base, 1 wood tool holder)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTFM-1 Split Tube Flaring Mandrel\u003c\/strong\u003e – For tubing from 3.5mm to 4.4mm ID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTFM-2 Split Tube Flaring Mandrel\u003c\/strong\u003e – For tubing from 4.5mm to 5.9mm ID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTFM-3 Split Tube Flaring Mandrel\u003c\/strong\u003e – For tubing from 6mm to 7mm ID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTFB-1 Tube Flaring Base\u003c\/strong\u003e – Holds mandrels upright during flaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood Tool Holder\u003c\/strong\u003e – For storing and organizing the set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways use the largest split mandrel possible for the chosen tubing diameter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubing must be annealed before flaring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended for use with seamless tubing only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA stamping hammer (not included) is required for the flaring process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fretz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43584818053334,"sku":"137.391","price":181.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/fretz-tfs-tube-flaring-set-otto-frei-1.jpg?v=1719955911","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/fretz-tfs-tube-flaring-set-3-5-7mm","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
