This paper provides a practical engineering and design overview for anyone considering a new drawbench. This paper identifies key equipment configuration, design and layout options and parameters, and provides examples of successful drawbench implementations, as well as common errors to avoid. In addition to a successful drawbench project road map, basic mechanical metallurgy of drawing is presented, with technical references and contacts for those who seek a deeper working knowledge of drawing theory and practice.
