It may be necessary to perfectly align very thick steel wire. How to do it? It would seem that the problem cannot be solved in a home workshop. Since it’s difficult to even bend a wire 4-6 mm in diameter, let alone straighten it...
But there is a way out and it is very simple, although additional parts and mechanisms will be required.

Aligning the thick wire


So, you need to find a log, a piece about half a meter in length. In it, closer to one of the edges, we drill a through hole with a diameter larger than the wire itself.
Next, insert the end of the wire into this hole.

The other end of the log must be wrapped with a cable and secured with a tie.

The second end of the cable must be attached to a reliable support, such as a concrete pillar. And at the end of the wire, put an ear clamp with a plate in which there are two holes. We bend the wire and insert the snake into these holes.

Next, this clamp is placed on the car's towbar.

And now, using a machine, we pull the wire through the hole in the log at an angle.

    And if you tie the wire to the shuttle like this, you can roll it and it will not be a circle, but a square. What a tin!

    I’m looking for a drill, I’m looking for a carrier to turn on the drill, I’m looking for a drill of the required diameter, it’s definitely in the store, I drag the log without effort, I drill, we ask a neighbor to help with the machine.. we insert the wire into the log.. damn I forgot the cable, I need more.. I call a friend, he brings it in an hour , the neighbor has already left, we are waiting for him for another hour. Well, now it’s finally all over, I can straighten it out effortlessly..) A day has passed, I owe a bottle to a neighbor, a friend, and a couple of rubles for gasoline.. So now I have to think, why do I need a perfectly straight wire...
