Draw Plates are presented in an assortment of sizes & shapes for drawing different shapes of wire, including square, round, teardrop, rectangular, oval, half-round & knife-edge.
Draw plates are used to reduce & shape the thickness of gold, silver, brass, copper or platinum wire. A typical draw plate will have many holes so a wide range of diameters can be drawn. Jewellers often need to reduce the diameter of wire when designing custom jewellery. The holes in the draw plate taper slightly towards the front so that wire drawn from a preceding hole will go through the next hole with ease. Always use a lubricant in aiding a smoother finish when drawing wire.
