Designed for jewelers and metalsmiths working with all types of wire, this press handles inside diameters from 13 mm (1\/2\") up to outside diameters of 36 mm (1-3\/8\"), making it a versatile tool for producing consistently textured rings and hoops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top and bottom inner dies feature a pin-and-groove alignment system that fits precisely into the outer sleeve, ensuring your pattern registers perfectly every time. Simply form your wire around a mandrel, join the ends, seat the ring in the bottom die within the outer sleeve, place the top die over the ring, and strike with a suitable mallet. The result is a cleanly patterned ring or hoop ready for finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForms textured rings and hoops on all types of wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces square or round hoops and rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes pattern rings and hoops from 1\/2\" ID to 1-3\/8\" OD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-part die with outer sleeve for accurate, repeatable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin-and-groove alignment keeps top and bottom dies perfectly registered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates the need for an expensive hydraulic press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with a weighted rawhide mallet or other suitable mallet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with pattern wire — buy ready-made or create your own with a draw plate or pattern rolling mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to use for both production runs and one-off pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePattern\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransverse 18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuality steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDie Configuration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-part die with outer sleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRing\/Hoop Size Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 mm (1\/2\") ID – 36 mm (1-3\/8\") OD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWire Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll types of wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRing Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare or round\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePattern wire can be purchased ready-made or fabricated using a draw plate or pattern rolling mill.
