    When you roll your square wire from 5mm to 2.6mm you folding the
    edges. It is not visible right away, but when you draw they separate
    and give you the problem you describing. 

    The solution: 

    Check you rolls if they mate properly. If it is wear on the rolls,
    the only remedy is after every pass examine if any metal was forced
    out forming a step. This needs to be filed off before proceeding with
    the next pass. If not the protrusion will fold back upon itself
    creating the problem in the drawing stage.
