Featuring \u003cstrong\u003e18 holes ranging from 3.0mm to 10.0mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, this plate covers a wide diameter range in a single tool — replacing the need for multiple standard round wire drawplates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo use, trim one end of a metal strip to a point and draw it through one of the larger holes on the plate. Continue drawing the metal through progressively smaller holes until a seam forms along the length of the strip. Solder the seam, and you have finished tubing ready for use in your jewelry work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plate is intentionally engineered with \u003cstrong\u003elarger steps between holes\u003c\/strong\u003e than a standard wire drawplate. That design is what makes it effective for tube forming — the larger increments encourage the metal to curl and close into a tube shape rather than simply reducing in diameter. While it is possible to form tubing using conventional round wire drawplates, you would typically need at least three separate plates to achieve what this single plate accomplishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in the U.S.A. from \u003cstrong\u003esteel\u003c\/strong\u003e, this drawplate is suited for use with non-ferrous jewelry metals including gold, silver, copper, and brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 holes sized from 3.0mm to 10.0mm for broad coverage in one plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge steps between holes designed specifically for tube forming from flat strip stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces multiple standard round wire drawplates for tube-forming applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with non-ferrous metals including gold, silver, copper, and brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the U.S.A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNumber of Holes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHole Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.0mm – 10.0mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Metals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-ferrous metals (gold, silver, copper, brass)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in the U.S.A.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Otto Frei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43581140369622,"sku":"128.040","price":57.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/steel-tube-forming-draw-plate-3-0mm-10-0mm-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719957711","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/it\/products\/steel-tube-forming-draw-plate","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
