Here we are again for Cemanco’s monthly FAQ, the informative column in which the company will try to answer some of the most common questions about the use of its products, while providing useful tips and advice.

In this third installment, Cemanco will answer a couple of very common questions concerning the wire straightening process: what are helix and cast? How many rollers do I need on my straightener?

The cast is the shape the wire takes from being wrapped around the spool, and the helix is any twist in the wire.
The number of rollers needed is determined by the tensile strength of the material you are attempting to straighten. In this video, Cemanco will help you determine what you need for your specific straightening application.
