Durston 1196 Power Draw Bench 1800-110V - 127.212P

The Durston 1196 Power Draw Bench 1800-110V brings motorized precision to the jewelry and metalsmithing studio. Sharing the same proven specifications as the Durston manual 1800 drawbench, this machine upgrades the experience with a powerful 0.75 kW 110V motor — delivering consistent, controllable drawing force with near-silent operation. Engineered for demanding professional use, this heavy-duty bench handles wire up to 10 mm in diameter across a generous 1350 mm working length. Special order item — will drop ship.

Features

• Forward and reverse operation for versatile drawing control
• Heavy-duty cast iron gearbox for durability and longevity
• Variable speed motor for precise draw rate adjustment
• Near-silent operation suitable for professional studio environments
• Motorized 0.75 kW 110V drive — same geometry as the Durston manual 1800 drawbench

Specifications

  Delivers steady, adjustable pulling power with forward and reverse operation, giving precise control over wire tension and diameter consistency.
• Heavy Cast Iron Gearbox Construction
  Engineered for stability under load, reducing vibration and ensuring accurate alignment during repeated drawing cycles in production environments.
• Handles Up to 10mm Wire
  Suitable for both fine jewellery wire and heavier gauge metal forming, making it versatile for studios with mixed production needs.
• Workshop Efficiency Upgrade
  Significantly reduces manual effort, increases repeatability, and improves throughput—especially valuable for chain makers and fabrication workshops.
• Professional Long-Life Design
  Built for continuous use with robust engineering, making it a long-term investment for serious metalworking studios.

Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Clean draw path after every use – Remove metal dust and lubricant buildup from rails, rollers, and guides to prevent wire scratching and uneven draw tension
• Keep draw tongs in top condition – Check jaw grip regularly; clean serrations so they maintain firm, non-slip wire holding under high tension
• Lubricate gearbox regularly – Apply light gear grease to the cast-iron gearbox for smooth forward/reverse motion and reduced motor strain
• Maintain motor ventilation (0.75kW) – Keep vents clear of dust to prevent overheating during long production runs
• Inspect emergency stop systems – Test both end-stop switches frequently for safe shutdown during wire jams or tension overload
• Use drawing lubricant consistently – Reduces friction, improves wire surface finish, and extends die and drawplate life
• Avoid overloading wire size – Maximum capacity ~10mm; reduce in stages instead of forcing heavy draws
• Check alignment of draw path – Misalignment increases wear on tongs, gearbox, and wire surface quality
• Secure mounting is essential – Keep bench rigid and level to prevent vibration and inconsistent wire diameter
• Light rust protection when idle – Oil exposed steel parts during storage in humid environments, but clean thoroughly before use
