psilvers Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Does anyone around here do this? The form I am looking for would be rather simple - straight wire with a closed loop on each end. Eventually, I would be looking for some quantity. Thanks, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 It would depend on the size of the loop and what diameter wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilvers Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 The loops are not big - they should fit in the space for a hook eye in a Do-It mold. I want to convert a regular Do-It mold to a swing jig. The wire size would be .04 and maybe .051. Do you make wire forms? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I can make wire forms with round loops but not what you need. I was thinking you wanted a straight wire shaft with a round loop on each end like the type you can get pre-bent to make in-line spinners with. For the project you are doing I'd have to use a round nose pliers and it isn't going to happen with .051" and even with .040" it would be slow going. I'm sorry but that type of wire form I couldn't help you with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Pete, It would have to be done by a machine that can bend small radii, and with. 040 or .050 there is a limit as well. Depending on your quantity, call up O'Hare Spring in Elk Grove Village, IL they may be able to help you. I think their minimum is a run of 5K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilvers Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Cadman and Smalljaw - Thanks for the info. I will contact O'Hare Spring. I remember seeing them mentioned here before, I just could not remember their name. Best, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hagans could be worth a try too, Jim Stevens put me into them for something similar - I didn't chase it up admittably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatman Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Send them an email or call and ask about what you're looking for - sometimes they have overruns and you can get them cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
