Working from my round extrusion I can pull the clay (in the same way you would pull when making a handle) \u0026amp; transform the round tube into a square or rectangular extrusion. This is particularly useful when I am making a lot of different components for a sculpture. When the whole sculpture is completed you would never guess that all the individual components came out of a round extruder. The possibilities are endless.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(Designed to fit a 4″ square extruder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eEach set as pictured left to right:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e•   1 3\/8” external die, Zipper Bridge, 7\/8” \u0026amp; 1” internal dies with stainless steel screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e•   2″ external die, Zipper Bridge, 1 3\/8” \u0026amp; 1 1\/2” internal dies with stainless steel screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e•   2 3\/4“ external die, Zipper Bridge, 2” \u0026amp; 2 1\/8” internal dies with stainless steel screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e•   3 1\/2“ external die, Zipper Bridge, 2 3\/4” \u0026amp; 2 7\/8” internal dies with stainless steel screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Full Kit Contains – \u003c\/b\u003eAll Four Sets: four Zipper Bridges, four external dies, eight internal dies, 13 stainless steel screws \u0026amp; a hex key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mudtools","offers":[{"title":"Full Die Set","offer_id":40642576012,"sku":"MT-11-04-Z","price":320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2037\/1707\/products\/bridge-and-dye-1-slight-line-alt.jpg?v=1553277653","url":"https:\/\/mudtools.sbs\/products\/zipper-bridge-and-extrusion-dies","provider":"Mudtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
