Square Handle Die #3: Dogbones
Square Handle Die #3: Dogbones
This die extrudes four handle shapes. Each shape is a "dogbone" shape, and there are four sizes: 15, 20, 25, and 25 mm wide. This die fits in NorthStar and TA Metal Works 4" square clay extruders.
There is also a blocker die that enables you to only extrude one shape. The blocker die is intended to be used on top of the handle die. The blocker die has a ridge that prevents clay from extruding out sideways.
Extrusion dimensions: Each extrusion has the same "dogbone" shape. The size of the extrusion varies from 15, 20, 25 and 30 mm. (Roughly 1/2" to 1").
Die Dimensions: The die is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and 1/4" thick.
