Spur Wire Wheel Embedder For Foundation
A spur wire embedder for wiring wax foundation into frames. Roll the spurred wheel along each horizontal frame wire and it presses the wire down into the wax, locking the foundation in so it won't sag or blow out in the extractor.
Features
- Spurred steel wheel embeds wire into wax in one pass.
- Wooden handle for a comfortable grip.
- Works with standard horizontal frame wiring.
How it works
Wire your frame as usual, lay the wax foundation over the wires, then run the spur wheel along each wire — the spurs press the wire into the wax so the two bond. Warming the wheel slightly helps it sink in cleanly.
Before you order
This is the embedding tool only. You'll also need wired frames and wax foundation, plus your own frame wire. It is made for horizontal wiring and wax foundation, not one-piece plastic frames.
Pairs well with
- Crimp Wire Beeswax Foundation — the wax sheets you'll be wiring in.
- Brass Frame Eyelets — protect the end-bar holes your wire runs through.
