Hi Billy,

>     you need? 

    Depending on the size of the holes in the drawplate, you can use any
    size wire that's a little larger than the largest hole. If you want
    to draw it to something smaller than 28 ga, the drawplate must have
    the appropriately sized holes. Also when drawing wire to the smaller
    gauges the holes should be highly polished & the wire annealed. 

Dave
