Common Wire Nail Making Machine Spare Parts

- Nail Cutter: Cut the steel wire into different lengths and make nail points, such as 30mm, 45mm, etc. Nail length can be adjusted from 5-150 mm.
- Nail Mould/Nail Die: Clamp/hold the steel wire for the nail cutter to cut.
- Pin Punch/Punch Bar: Make nail head.
The Nail Production Line to Make Common Nails Includes:

- Wire Drawing Machine: Draw the raw material steel wire Q195 or Q235 with a diameter of 6.5 mm to the needed diameter for nails, for example, a diameter of 3.5 mm,3.0 mm, etc., for nails of different lengths. The principle of wire drawing machines is that using different sizes of drawing dies. For example, to draw 6.5 mm steel wire to 5.8 mm, we can use a drawing die of 5.8mm.


- Common Nail-Making Machine: Cut the steel wire into nails and make nail head.
- Nail Polishing Machine: When the nails come out from the nail-making machine, they are not so smooth and bright and need to be polished to make them bright and have a good selling appearance. Concerning the polishing steps, firstly put the nails in the polishing drum, then put some saw dust onto the nails, then cover it and start the machine. In general, it needs 2-3 hours to polish.

These three machines are the main machines to make common nails. Besides these three machines, there are some small machines:
- Sharpening Mill: To sharpen the head of the steel wire before fed into the wire drawing machine. For example, to draw a steel wire of 6.5 mm to 5.8 mm, you need to sharpen the head of the 6.5mm steel wire to less than 5.8 mm first before putting the head into the drawing die.
- Nail Cutter Grinder: Grind the nail cutter to make it sharp again because, after 1-2 days of cutting, the nail cutter installed on the wire nail-making machine will become blunt.
- Butt Welding Machine: To weld the broken wire together and continue the drawing in case the wire breaks during drawing. Without this machine, you must sharpen the wire head again and do everything from the start.

Wire Nail Making Machine FAQ
Q1: Is wire nail making profitable?
Yes. The profit margin for wire nails is around USD 50 per ton, so a small factory with 3 tons of daily output can earn about USD 150 per day.
It is one of the most profitable small-scale metal processing businesses.
Q2: What type of steel wire is used for making nails?
The main raw material is SAE1008 / Q195 low-carbon steel wire rod or cold-drawn wire.
For concrete nails, high-carbon steel wire is required to achieve higher hardness and strength.
Q3: Why doesn’t Uniwin sell second-hand nail making machines?
Used nail making machines often have unstable performance and inconsistent spare parts, making maintenance difficult and production efficiency lower.
Although second-hand machines may seem cheaper, their long-term operating costs are much higher.
We only supply brand-new Z94 series and high-speed nail making machines with reliable after-sales service.
Q4: What’s the nail making machine price on Alibaba?
On Alibaba, there are many nail machine suppliers and the price ranges from USD 2,000 to 10,000 per set.
