  • Video - rod is pulled through a die, and every pass means smaller diameter. Starts with 9 mm rod? [1]
  • Copper - pulled through many dies to very fine size - [2]
  • Multiple dies are loaded one at a time, then drawing starts. Are all spools pulling? Likely so, as the thinnest wire pulling would break from tension of larger wire size - [3].

OSE Notes

  • Pull from one spool to next from a starting spool. Challenge is the first spool - that is a lot of material.
  • If start with 3/8" size, need significant spool to start with.
