Tapered Paperclip Mandrel "Taperclip"

 

The Taperclip mandrel is a departure from the conventional paperclip mandrels. Its tapered design enables artists to produce a paperclip-style chain, with links that gradually lessen in length. This specific mandrel features three thickness variations: 3mm, 2.5mm, and 2mm. It is also sold as a set of two.

 

Long taper:  25mm tapered to 6mm

Short taper: 37mm tapered to 7mm
