Premium Quality Tungsten Carbide Round Drawplate 0.26mm To 2.20mm 36 Holes SRM-20

This is the plate you pull wire through at the bench, taking round stock down in 36 steps from 2.20 mm to 0.26 mm. The SRM-20 is built for jewelers and metalsmiths who want the drawing surface itself to do the work: each hole carries a thick tungsten carbide insert ground and polished to an ultra-smooth finish, so drawn wire exits clean, round, and blemish-free.

Tungsten carbide drawplates vary widely in quality, and the thickness and polish of the inserts are what separate a good plate from a poor one. The SRM-20 is manufactured in Taiwan by Shen-Hwa for Ikohe, and its 36-hole 0.26 mm – 2.20 mm span is the most popular and useful configuration in the tungsten carbide range. As with any quality drawplate, use a suitable lubricant and anneal wire regularly to slow hole wear and ease the draw. It carries a one-year guarantee.

Features

• 36 precisely sized holes spanning 0.26 mm to 2.20 mm
• Thick tungsten carbide inserts polished to an ultra-smooth finish
• Produces clean, blemish-free round wire with each pass
• High-polish hole surfaces reduce friction and extend tool life
• Round hole configuration, suited to general wire-drawing work
• One-year guarantee included

Notes

• Always use a lubricant when drawing wire to protect the hole surfaces and ease the draw.
• Anneal wire frequently during drawing to reduce work hardening and minimize stress on the plate.
• Tungsten carbide drawplates differ in insert thickness and polish quality; those two factors are what to compare.
