Silver Wire best place to get It from?
« on: January 29, 2010, 02:35:39 PM »
 I had some Silver wire that measured .07 x .65 that worked well but I have been unable to find any close to that size. Where is the best place to get Silver wire from?  Thanks Paul Bigham

Are you sure of those measurements?  That's about 1/16" by 5/8".

Paul,

I just received silver wire from R.E. Davis and Track. They are almost the same width and thickness but the wire from Davis  seems harder and springer than the wire from Track. Both are about .007 thick by 3/32" wide.

I have bought it from Allan Sandy at Dixon's.  He sold it by the foot and had two different thicknesses.

I like getting it from Rio Grande. I have been very happy with their service.

Thry these people.  Very nice to deal with.  They have Sterling, Pure, and Nickel Silver

Rio Grande is the place to go.  You want sterling, not .999.  They have great service and the price is determined by the market anywhere you buy from except places like Track which mark things up more.
