Carbide Draw Dies - 'R' Series
The success of drawing operations is dependent on proper die geometry. Glen Carbide's engineering and sales staff specialize in designing and recommending the correct die specifications, using standard R-series nibs, for optimum performance.
Finished dies for wire, bar, and tube drawing are manufactured with proper approach angles, bearing lengths, tolerances, and surface finishes for the most efficient drawing using Standard 'R' series nibs. We can recommend a special profile using your finish size requirements, material starting size, and specifications.
Special dies for extrusion, deep drawing, push pointing, and ironing can also be designed for maximum efficiency.
Even special case requirements are routine for our machining department using the latest CNC machining centers.

Draw Dies
Finished dies for wire and bar drawing are manufactured with proper approach angles, bearing lengths, tolerances, and surface finishes for the most efficient drawing based on customer material starting size and specifications. Standard 'R' series nibs (SEE DOWNLOAD CHART BELOW) will be recommended based on the particular application or can be manufactured to your custom requirements.
Finished dies for tube drawing over a mandrel or plug are manufactured with proper approach angles, bearing lengths, tolerances, and surface finishes for the most efficient drawing based on customer material starting size and specifications. Standard 'R' series nibs (SEE DOWNLOAD CHART BELOW) will be recommended based on the particular application or can be manufactured to your custom requirements.
Sink Dies
Finished dies for sink tube drawing are manufactured with proper approach angles, bearing lengths, tolerances, and surface finishes for the most efficient drawing based on customer material starting size and specifications. Since these dies generally have tighter angles and long bearings, we can recommend the correct special nib size if a standard 'R' series nib cannot be used.
Push Point Dies
Finished dies for push pointing the ends on the wire, bar, or tube are manufactured with proper approach angles, bearing lengths, tolerances, and surface finishes for the most efficient push pointing process based on customer material starting size and specifications. Because of the special nature of these dies, standard ‘R’ series nibs and cases generally cannot be used. We can manufacture the special nib sizes and cases needed for all types of push point machines.
