When the diewears too large for a particular size of wire, it is reamed to a larger sizeand used in that manner until the die goes above the maximum sizeused. These dies, shown in Fig. 20, are used for drawing line and heavygauge wire for which the cost of diamond dies would be alloy steel dies have been tested as substitutes for chilled irondies for copper wire drawing, but so far have failed to replace them, due 210 BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL to excessive cost. For the wire sizes smaller than No. 16 down to asfine as No. 42 B. & S., diamond dies as described below are used.
