Square Beaded-Square Clay Extrusion Die
Square Beaded-Square Clay Extrusion Die
This die extrudes a square shape with a beaded feature at each corner. The inner shape is a smooth circle. It fits in NorthStar and TA Metal Works 4" square clay extruders.
Extrusion Dimensions: The outside square is approximately 3" x 3". The inner diameter is 2 1/2". The minimum wall width is approximately 1/4".
Die Dimensions: The die is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and 1" tall.
The wall around the top of the die helps prevent clay from oozing out sideways, as sometimes happens with square extruders.
Base Cutter: The corresponding cutter is optional. It can be useful to cut a base that exactly matches the extruded shape. The cutter is 3/4" tall.
