Walking Dead Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 What are you using to straighten bulk wire coming off spools? I want to create straight shafts from spooled wire and not getting it straight enough. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I am looking at the same problem after all these years. I always bought them cut and straight . But unfortunately now I have coils of wire sent to me by a former customer wanting me to make lures for him . At this time the only straighteners I have seen that work are extraordinarily expensive. The little hand held Dubro is made from brass . Stainless steel will eat that up in time . I will be following this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted November 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Review on the dubro were fair at best: scratches and leaves burs. Might have to continue the vise and pull method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I simply pull the wire over a wooden dowel at 90 degrees. Works well enough. Dave 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
