FIELD: drawing processes and equipment, namely manufacture of hardware for making wire by drawing.

SUBSTANCE: drawing bench includes housing; arranged in it traction drum with reversing drive; two driven reversing unwinding-winding units with bobbins and draw plate holder. According to invention axes of unwinding-winding units are parallel to axis of traction drum and they are shifted relative to it for providing possibility for crossing by angle 60 - 120° wire branch climbing on drum and wire branch descending from it. Draw plate holder is in the form of tie rod with two rows of seats crossing in pairs by angle 60 - 120° in its cross section. In said seats along their axes draw plates are placed. Tie rod is mounted with possibility of moving on guides in parallel to drum axis and it is provided with means for fixing it in working positions corresponding to alternating matching of axes of draw plates with climbing wire branch. Between said seats in each row there are parallel to seat through openings for descending wire branch.
