Reduce and shape thickness of brass, copper, gold, silver, platinum or soft steel wire.
Tungsten carbide inserts are permanently fixed in marked steel plates.
The angle of reduction is made to exact specifications for the smoothest possible pull.
The holes are progressively smaller, in proper increments, so that wire drawn from a preceding hole will go through the next hole easily.
Occasional annealing will keep wire soft, and bees wax can be used as a lubricant. Professional quality and the ultimate in drawplates.
