For example 6 gauge is the thickest copper wire we carry; 26 gauge copper wire is the thinnest. See below for gauge charts.   Hardness: Basically how easy it is to bend or work:              Medium Soft is pliable yet holds up for folding and hammering.

GAUGE Chart for sheet & wire: Gauge is thickness.   The higher the gauge number the thinner the metal.   Thinner metal bends more easily. *This chart shows approximate gauge thickness for wire and may not appear correctly on all screens.     The gauge thickness of craft metals is approximate to this chart but as close as possible for sculpture and craft work where price is more of a consideration than scientific precision from length to length.             GAUGE Charts for copper sheet & wire: To see what we offer in these gauges click to see our pages:   SHEET METAL       TOOLING FOIL     CRAFT WIRE    RECYCLED METAL    Gauge  Dimension (inches)  Pounds per Sq.
