Triblet

Triblet

In metal crafting, a triblet is a tapering cylinder, usually of steel, which is used to expand or measure a ring or hole in another piece of metal up to a desired size. Triblets used in jewellery are usually gradiated and marked in standard finger sizes. In blacksmithing a triblet is synonymous with a mandrel.
