{"product_id":"round-steel-filigree-drawplate-31-holes","title":"Drawplate Round 2.0mm to Filigree 31 Holes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Italian-made round hole steel drawplate features 31 precisely graduated holes designed for reducing and shaping soft non-ferrous metals including gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper alloys. Crafted by a manufacturer with over 40 years of experience producing steel drawplates, each plate combines modern machine tooling with meticulous old-world craftsmanship. The result is consistent, even draw-downs that professional jewelers and metalsmiths rely on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoles are numbered 1 through 31, with hole 1 representing the largest diameter at 2.0mm. Each successive hole decreases in size, with hole 31 being the smallest — approximately 0.25mm (30 gauge). This drawplate is traditionally referred to as a \u003cem\u003efiligree drawplate\u003c\/em\u003e, a term rooted in the history of the jewelry trade, when measuring instruments lacked the precision to reliably characterize very fine wire gauges. The name described a drawplate capable of producing wire finer than what could be accurately measured at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the manufacturer specifies only the largest hole size (2.0mm), it is recommended to use a modern digital gauge to verify wire diameter as you draw down from hole to hole. This is standard best practice when working with any classic-style steel drawplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you require drawplates with calibrated diameters marked on each hole, consider the tungsten carbide insert drawplate line available from Otto Frei.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31 holes numbered 1–31 for consistent, progressive wire draw-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHole 1 (largest) measures 2.0mm; hole 31 (smallest) is approximately 0.25mm \/ 30 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoles are precisely graduated for smooth, even reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened steel construction suitable for non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditionally known as a filigree drawplate — ideal for producing very fine wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduced using modern machine tools combined with traditional craftsmanship\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\u003e31\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLargest Hole\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0mm (Hole #1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSmallest Hole (approx.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.25mm \/ 30 gauge (Hole #31)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardened steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItaly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Metals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper alloys\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe manufacturer specifies only the largest hole diameter (2.0mm); individual hole sizes beyond hole #1 are not guaranteed by the manufacturer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a modern digital gauge to verify wire diameter when drawing down through each hole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot intended for use with ferrous metals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43581880631510,"sku":"019.008","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/drawplate-round-2-0mm-to-filigree-31-holes-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719957361","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/round-steel-filigree-drawplate-31-holes","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
