Tinman's wire straightening machine
Tinman's wire straightening machine for size 0 to 14 I.W.G. wire
This is a small appliance for straightening wire. It consists of a cast-iron base plate having mounted upon it five grooved pulleys or rollers, placed alternately on each side of the wire, which is drawn between them, the smaller sizes by hand and the larger sizes by a draw bench. The end rollers are fixed in position while the intermediate ones are mounted on blocks, clamped by bolts whose heads move in transverse slots, thus giving the necessary lateral adjustment. A guide is fitted to lead the wire from the coil to the first roller. The machine will straighten wire up to 0.25 inches in diameter.
