I love how there's no extraneous BS and you get to the point of how to straighten wire immediately. Great video!
That’s the goal!
@@TabLeft
Would this compromise the structural integrity of the metal?
@@IllusionSector yes an no, i could work harden some materials but they could be re-annealed etc to mitigate any issues
Nice! I've used a similar method, threading the wire through a small hole in a board, and spinning it with the drill as you pull it though. It was a tip for making control rods for remote control planes, etc. Works well for stiffer material without twisting it as much.
Nice I'll give that a try!
Sir, do you have any technique to make an orthodontic wire straight, triangle,square,circle etc. Without getting the hand swollen?
I really can't apply so much excessive force with hand for removing bends and making the wire a perfectly straight one which gets my hand swollen, with lots of pain after every orthodontics class. Please help!!
Have you posted?
So simple, so quick. This is exactly what I needed and solved the issue immediately. Thank you
So my question is: does the twist in the wire affect either it's strength, or your ability to work it?
I will lose ductility
@@rodac9399 is it ok for spring wire?
I imagine the answer is yes, although, you might be able to regain what was lost by annealing the wire after straightening.
Whoa, that is an AWESOME tip! I don't know how many times I've felt like tossing crooked, tangled wires, when I could have just done that!
Thank you!
Thank you, this was really useful for me! Short video and easy to understand.
You sir are a genius. Holy cow. You must sing this song from the precipice of Mount Armature.
Thanks, I use rebar tie wire when making fishing lures, not the actual finish wire but to ream the holes, hangers for sealing the wood and holding for pait and epoxy. Trying to hand straighten and shove the thing through the hole is a pita so thank you so much for making that process easier
Thank you! Fantastic tip for my wire as an artist, I was totally struggling.
Great. Just bought some 12G in V'burg. Been tapping
on my vice 4 some crafts. 'Bout 2 try.
Tks.
I just tried this with my 12 gauge steel whlire and it works great. I wonder how many times you can twist it until breaks or the strength is reduced
Great tip! I have a role of tie wire I wasn't using and now I can use the whole thing for pins in my models.
I think it would be better to insert the end straight into the center of drill though like a normal bit just to keep things even. I feel like tightening it with two parts separating unevenly might loosen it after a while and lead to wobbly rotation.
Ty so much!! Needed to make steel tension cables with steelwire for a model, its so easy😊
NIce! someone was thinking!
Thanks! Its an old trick though i didnt invent it.
Back in high school we were taught to put one end of the wire in the vise and grip the other with pliers. Give it a sharp pull longitudinally and the wire becomes straight.
Will that work on heavier gauge wire? Like galvanized 9ga farm and fence wire. I need to uncoil it and have a length about 90" dead straight.
That's the most twisted solution I have ever seen.
haha i see what you did there =)
badum tss
This is exactly what I needed (though maybe I should comment after I go try it ha). I wish I had the dark wire, I’m making fake, stiff, parachute cables for my son’s Halloween costume; the striping pattern looks just like wire rope!
Put 2 straightened wires in the vice, and basically do the same thing he just did. They'll twist around each other and look like a rope.
(Of course, too late for Halloween now)
Great tip.Cheers, Barry (from England)
👍👍👍
Sorcery!!! thanks for the tip! I'm not sure I got it right though, do you let the other end spin freely in the vise? I guess it will eventually, when enough torque is transmitted through the wire. ouhh thanks man!
The other end you clamp tight or just screw it to something.
Perfect, thanks!
thank you for the cool tips but I have question though.
Isn't the wire went like coiled up or gone spiral, u know what I mean? n I mean the metal itself. I'm afaid it would decrease the integrity, strange of the wire? (like when I twisted the wire too many time it's just torn apart. T-T )
yeah if you go nuts and over twist it or twist it too fast then it will break. depending on the material it might also work harden but that can just be annealed again if needed. for the materials show here its fine as is but if i went to long it would certainly break. just go slow and only twist until straight and it should be fine.
Interesting. It seems like it would severely compromise the metal's integrity though. I'm sure there are times when this solution would be perfectly acceptable, just be aware that the metal may weaken and become a lot more brittle.
Yeah totally if your working with something that work hardens quickly and you plan to re bend it a lot if might be worth annealing it afterwards. But I've been using this technique for many many years for various crafts and it's not been an issue provided you go slow and don't go nuts with the drill.
Cool. Now I want a bench vise.
Works just as well to screw the other end to something. This was just easier to film :)
Excellent video. It really helped me.
amazingly simple, thanks!
Hi how to straighten the wire if it’s part of spool which you can’t cut into a piece to hold it in vice grip.
Sir, do you have any technique to make an orthodontic wire straight, triangle,square,circle etc. Without getting the hand swollen?
I really can't apply so much excessive force with hand for removing bends and making the wire a perfectly straight one which gets my hand swollen, with lots of pain after every orthodontics class. Please help!!
Nice. You can also braid multiple wires the same way if you're trying to fish through a hole.
Yeah! I do that when I need to hang a heavy picture too
Thank you very much bro.
agriculture to next level you’re welcome 😊
Great tip, Ray
Thanks Charlie!
never thought i was gonna see this solution with a screwdriver - but not sure a helix is preferable
wicked cool.
Thanks!
Can you show us how to do that with a paperclip. I tried and failed :(
Would this work for a hanging pendant light wire you think?
Which is this machine?? I really need it!!
Great tip, Ray!
Thanks man!
great tips dude!!
Could you let me know how thick the second black wire? I’m trying this out for a project and have no clue what thickness I should start with but that seemed like a pretty good example?
how long of a piece of wire can you straighten at a time? And thank you, thank you, thank you, from my tired aching hands!! :)
Judy Bielik not sure if there is a limit honestly, I’ve seen the method used for very long lengths like 6+ feet but I think any length would likely work fine provided that’s it’s manageable enough to not re-bend it when you’re done
I saw someone doing this with wires that were about 40ft.
It's better to pull the wire without winding it, you can also put it instead in the drill chuck on a thick rod piece withe a loop and pull it without compromiseing the strength to much, or put somewhere a hook in the ceiling or something strong and put on the other end a weight and lett it hang for a little while 😊
WaschyNumber1 that doesn’t actually straighten it that well in my experience as the wire will have spring back unless twisted. Twisting the wire doesn’t hurt the integrity of the wire drastically unless you over do it and for most applications it doesn’t matter anyways. The bigger risk is work hardening and making it brittle but you can just anneal afterwards.
Nice tip thanx for sharing
Thank you!
Hell yeah! Thanks
Hmm, interesting... Thanks for sharing 🤓
Thanks for watching =)
Wow good tip thanks!
👍👍👍
Pls brother can we do this in a 21 gauge steel wire
try it with 1/8th music wire?
I think I’ve got some, but in music wire it would either snap or need to be re-tempered for sure.
now THAT is neat.
Thanks!
An interesting way. Thank you :)
Mark Fisher. Ukraine.
Thank you!
But now it’s *twisted* wire, not smooth….
What if you don't have a vice
cool very cool
if i use wire long 10 metre
maybe i can ?
also a great way to "braid" two wires
Yeah great for hanging heavy pictures
Clever!
Thank you!
Cool!
Thanks!
Great tip. But now I have to go buy a bench vise. Lol
When i was a kid I would just put the other end in a pair of vise grips and step on it =) I sometimes will just make a loop and screw it to something too.
What can I use since I don’t have a vice?
Very straight, but now very work hardened. Not a viable option for wire work unless you anneal the wire.
Fantastisk
Not Bad Trick :)
Thanks!
As a gay man, I feel offended by your video.
NOT APPLICABLE ON MAGNET WIRE
dont have a drill tho
problem is twisting it stresses the wire.
+treserious sure to some degree but it not been an issue for me in years of doing this. The trick is go slow and only twist it enough to straighten it. If needed the wire can always be annealed but I've not found it to be necessary for the wire I use and project that I've made.
TabLeft Workshop another thing to think about is if you need the wire to be a certain thickness then you have to start with the wire that is a little bit thinner, yes annealing the wire afterwards will help it to remain soft enough to rework. This is a good technique but an alternative is to just pull some thicker wire through the correct size hole for the final thickness you desire.
great tip, but beware you will make the wire brittle doing this.
That's what I was thinking. The strength is compromised.
You can if you over do it, but Ive been doing it a long time and its never been an issue for the wires i use. it doesn't take too much to get it straight so it tends to not harden much
When I saw a vice I left lol
umm, this is far from what i was looking for other than yes you did straighten it but you also twisted the wire which doesn't help people who are looking to straighten wire without a twist in it!
