A wire jig is a tool used for consistently and accurately shaping wire, typically for jewelry making or other crafts. It consists of a baseboard with evenly spaced holes and movable pegs of different diameters.
Here's a breakdown of its features:
- Baseboard: Provides a stable surface to work on. It has regularly spaced holes to accommodate the pegs.
- Movable Pegs: These are inserted into the holes on the baseboard and act as guides around which the wire is bent. The pegs come in various diameters to allow for different curve radii and shapes.
- Craft application: Used to make consistent bends and shapes in wire for projects, commonly employed in jewelry making.
The wire jig allows for repeatable and precise wire designs, making it ideal for creating multiple identical components or intricate patterns.
