Description
The OMO Octagonal Drawplate is a precision wire-drawing tool designed for jewelers and metalsmiths who need to draw wire into consistent octagonal profiles. With 31 graduated holes ranging from 6 mm down to 3 mm, this drawplate provides a wide working range for stepping wire down to the desired octagonal cross-section in controlled increments.
Octagonal wire is a distinctive choice for chains, bracelet components, and decorative metalwork where flat-sided geometry adds visual interest and catches light differently than round wire. A quality drawplate with closely spaced hole sizes allows smooth, gradual reduction, minimizing stress on the metal and reducing the need for frequent annealing.
