Metalcraft Basket Making Components for Master Twister
Metalcraft Basket Making Components are designed to fit the Master Twister. Can be purchased with the Master Twister or individually if you previously purchased the Master Twister and now want to add this popular feature. Fits nearly all previous versions of the Master Twister.
With the use of these special gripping attachments (known as the Basket Making Components) along with the Master Twister, slender ornamental "baskets" or "onion cages", as some know them by, can be easily formed using pre-welded clusters of four 1/4" or 5/16" solid square bars. The Basket Making Attachment also allows you to put a "general twist" in square tubing OR twist 1/4" solid round rod into a rope design.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Working Capacity:
4 pieces of 1/4" or 5/16" HOT ROLLED solid square bar or solid round rod are required to make a basket. Both ends of the 4 pieces are welded together. Place welded 4 pieces into basket attachment and turn the handles 1 to 2 revolutions (how many revolutions depends on the length of the 4 pieces of square bar or round rod being used). Then to flare out the metal, turn the handles in the opposite direction that you originally turned. The metal has no were to go but to flare out. Your basket is formed.
