For reference, the tolerances of SWG on this site are as follows: Note that the actual measured wire diameter is noted along with the approximate Standard Wire Gauge.
In the past, I found that the different scales can cause confusion. Typically, SWG is used for ferrous materials and AWG is used for non-ferrous materials. Please note that due to the phenomenon known as "springback," the actual link inside diameter is typically larger than the mandrel diameter - please see the data for each individual link for the actual link inside diameter as well as the aspect ratio (the ratio of link inside diameter to wire diameter, often abbreviated 'AR') of each link.Īll wire gauges are listed in Standard Wire Gauge for simplicity's sake. The nominal link inside diameter (ID) is the mandrel diameter. Listed link diameters are all inside diameters. Whether you are in the US or overseas, this can save you quite a bit on shipping! We do our best to reduce your shipping costs through the use of USPS flat rate boxes. In pictures of individual links, the link on the left is in the "as cut" condition, while the link on the right is closed to show the quality of the closure when using our links. Ring counts are calculated using the measured density, measured wire diameter, and measured link diameter and have tolerances of +/- 3%. Links are priced by the hundred (so you can get the small quantities you need) with discounts at 300, 500, 1000, and 2500 or more links (3, 5, 10, and 25 or more units of 100) of a given size, material, and color (to give you the best price when working on those large projects). We offer a number of different materials and sizes here, but if you want a material or size that you don't see here, please ask - chances are that we can make it for you. Chainmail made from these rings is a real pleasure to roll through your hands or wear as it will not snag, chafe, or scratch. Following the cutting process, we tumble each batch of rings to remove any errant burrs. These links are cut with a 0.010" (0.25 mm) or thinner saw to ensure that the minimum amount of material is removed from each ring, preserving the shape of the ring while giving a smooth closure. West Coast Chainmail is bringing the same jeweler's saw quality cut links to you that we use in our own products.
