Wire gauge/type on a 362 Diamond needle?

[nikkigracetoronto]

I run a shop with a partner in Toronto doing diamond cuts off a stereo-modified Presto 6N lathe.

Unfortunately the heater wire to our 362 Diamond needle died at a critical time when we've got a lot of clients at the moment.

We're wondering what kind of wire, and what gauge is used on these needles? We're hoping we can just acquire it ourselves and get back online rather than having to send it back in.

Thanks so kindly,

Hi!

I've used 0.12 with my 462 shanks with very good results. Not too stiff, not too soft, easy to handle.

Best regards,
