Mike, Oh no you don't. The term "wire drawing" is applied to when wire is reduced in its cross section by pulling it through a die that is smaller than the cross section the wire originally is/was. A 1/2" OD wire can be reduced to a caliber of #32 doing various passes using that process. The other use of that term is used to indicate wear when a high pressure gas or liquid wears away the surface it is in contact with while flowing. It eats a surface away a molecule at a time and leaves a groove. If the groove is in the seat of a valve that valve will leak until the seat is remachined clean. That's why valves leak and drip.
