Hi Trevor,

    When I roll out my small ingot in the wire rolling mill I try very
    hard to rotate the 'now wire' so that I don't get the "square burrs".
    Occasionally I need to run the scraper over the edges to remove them,
    but not that often. Then I pull it thru the round draw plate. I
    haven't had a problem yet with my wire and I draw down to 30ga most
    of the time.
