Usually the die is mounted on a draw bench.

Bars or rods that are drawn cannot be coiled therefore straight-pull draw benches are used.

Small diameter wire may be drawn manually, while very thick wire may require a drawing bench with a crank.

A draw bench or arbor press equipped with expandable lead plug is used to shape and smooth the bell and bell neck over a mandrel.

A Draw bench is a machine used to do cold work on a metal, such as changing the shape of the metal without applying heat and applying only pressure.

Tubes may be tagged (reduced in diameter to enable the tube to be initially fed through the die to then be pulled from the other side) using a rotary swager, which allows them to be drawn on a draw bench.
