The Transverse 14 pattern die set is a 2-part tool steel design — similar to ring and hoop presses, but scaled up large enough to form bangle bracelets up to 2-7\/8\" OD from wire as thick as 10 gauge (2.6 mm). Compatible with copper, brass, silver, and gold wire, these dies let you create both round and oval bangles using plain wire or custom pattern wire made with your rolling mill and draw plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransverse 14 pattern — 2-part tool steel die set for forming bangle bracelets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForms bangles up to 2-7\/8\" outer diameter from wire up to 10 gauge (2.6 mm) thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo hydraulic press required — use a weighted rawhide mallet, shot-filled mallet, or large rubber mallet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, brass, silver, and gold wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for both round and oval bangle profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes aluminum spacers to help center round wire between die halves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished bangles can be closed (joined ends) or open (finished ends)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with plain wire or custom pattern wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing wire up to 10 gauge (2.6 mm), bend your wire into a round or oval shape no larger than 2-7\/8\" across.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate the die halves and place the formed wire between them.
