Best Answer

A Draw Plate is a small hardened steel plate with a number of different sized holes in it, and is used for drawing wire through it in order to make smaller wire. The same technique is used to draw tubes down to a smaller diameter.

This cold-working method results in a tube/wire with a good surface finish, and also improves a little the properties of the tube/wire.
