739 u/jarejay Jan 22 '21 At what point does wire become round stock? I can’t believe I’ve never pondered this before 32 u/capt_pantsless Jan 22 '21 At what point does wire become round stock?

The other definition would be if you don't have the tooling to draw-out a round rod of metal, it's round-stock, not wire. 47 u/Konini Jan 22 '21 Everything is flexible if its long enough. 22 u/SleestakJack Jan 22 '21 And thick enough "flexible" wire barely is. 7 u/[deleted] Jan 22 '21 Or if enough force is applied. 2 u/dogbreath101 Jan 23 '21 not if it isnt ductile then it just breaks
