Machine Cut End:
Wire ends can be cut straight with miniscule burrs or be clean cut without burrs. The finished wire can be quill or angle cut with a single angle or an angle on both sides of the end.
Chamfered End:
Chamfered ends have a smooth flat slope around the end to remove sharp edges.
Winging:
Winging or swaging cut is accomplished by placing the end of the wire in a die that creates a wing shape on the end of the wire.
Pierced Swaging:
With pierced swaging, the wire is cut to give it a swaging shape and a hole is cut in the center of the swaging.
Custom Shaped Hole:
With custom shaped holes, a hole is cut in the end of the wire after the wire has been trimmed by a die that punctures the wire to form the hole.
Chisel Point and Turned End:
In this process, dies form a jagged end by cutting the wire on a diagonal.
Ball end:
A lathe shapes the end of the wire into the form of a ball.
Groove:
As with the process of forming a ball end, in the groove end process, a groove is cut in the end of the wire.
Cold Heading:
In cold heading, the wire is subjected to multiple blows to flatten or round the end, which can result in button, carriage, or collar headings.
