The Durston 1200 Table Top Draw Bench is a compact, high-quality unit built for professional jewelers and metalsmiths who need reliable wire-drawing performance without dedicating a full floor-standing bench to the task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis draw bench accommodates a continuous piece of wire up to 24\" (600 mm) in length. It must be mounted at the edge of a table or workbench to allow full range of motion for the handle. Permanent mounting is achieved via two mounting holes located at either end of the bench, or the unit can be temporarily secured to a bench surface using L-clamps through the holes on the side. When not in use, the draw bench can be hung on a wall or stored away, making it well suited for shops where space is at a premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact table-top design mounts at the edge of a bench or table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraws
